In need of some TLC!!

Hello Darlings

It is the weirdest thing to wake up one morning and see that "oh, its november!".
I have had the fastest month ever!!  between work and life its hard to keep up and take care of your self!
I have had to wake up super early because I work early and I get back late so I don't have a lot of time to just rejuvenate, especially with family running circles around you.
I know that many other people have it wayyyyy harder then I do....but for me and my life, we need a little TLC like, every week!!
So here are somethings that I do to just slow my heart rate down.

#1
read a book.
this might not seem like much, but when your constantly on the computer, phone or with other people information is being pushed down your throat. its good for you to just sit back and read at your own pace. Reading can actually slow you down and refresh you so that you can have a clear mind and thoughts. and who doesn't want that?




#2
listen to music.
I lovvvve music! (DISNEY) and when I can I will just lay on my bed with a cloth over my eyes and just listen. To the words, the notes, the feelings everything! so refreshing. I also will put on a play-list and dust. I like to dust. ;)








#3
sit outside.
I often find that when Im stressed or uncomfortable it calms me down to be outside. I will take a cup of tea and sit on the deck and watch the cars go by or the people walking. and I can feel my energy start to level out and balance again by just being in a place with no walls and no ceiling.

these are my three refreshers and they help a lot!!!
what are yours? leave a comment and share with me what you do to calm down!

yours truly,

My observations.

It saddens me that my sister would rather hang out with me rather then her own age friends.   Who are the ones she should be counting on to back her up when someone makes fun of her or doesn't understand her disabilities. 

Instead of laughing at her imperfections. 

Why can't my brother go to hang out and not be made fun of for being homeschooled or not watching a PG 13 movie?

Why is it that when I see such great kids all around me. They just seem to not care about anyone but themselves? 

Is it the pressure of popularity?

The fight to fit in?

The constant need to be a part of a group?

Let me tell you something. 

Jesus Christ never put down another person for being less then perfect.

He is not popular with many people around the world. 

He never had to fight to fit in.

He is the leader of the entire world and many religions, but he never had a need to be a part of a exclusive group. 

He is our perfect savior and he loves us all for all our imperfections.  He died for us so that we could be resurrected and become perfect. 

He is my savior and I love him. 

And more importantly he loves and my family. For all their imperfections. 

And on that note. He also loves all those kids who are the perpatraders of unkindness. Whether they are struggling or just thoughtless. 

I pray we can all be kinder to each other.

HELLO! I MISS YOU!

Hello there!

How has your day been? Im hoping that it is awesome!

Recently I have been not so happy with my friends. Its not like they aren't great, but they aren't very considerate to my feelings. I keep feeling just, blah..
So I decided that I would do something that I really want to do when I woke up this morning and not think about it!
I woke up, did my scripture study and then started reading my favourite adventure blog. Now this blog is written by a family who are very dear to my heart. Their name is the Schafer Family.
Please read their blog!!
http://familyadventuring.com/blogs

they are on a year long trip across the pacific ocean in a catamaran!! They write in there blog quite often with their misadventures and happy moments, so give it a veiw!

Now I don't read it as often as they post because its kinda dangerous for me,  I start to sob...
I cry and tears fall like the Niagara falls down my face. I cant stop. Now the reason for that is,
 I miss them.  I miss that way the Aunty Kir talks to me and gives me hugs, I miss Uncle norm and learning so much from his example, I miss Alyssa always being close enough to tell all my hopes and fears to. Jeaden, I miss with his ever willing to help me with my technical difficulties, Dailin Is always able to help me if I am stuck in a bad day with his humour. I miss Orin and his ever amazing personality! I miss my allergy brother Eli, he is always able to make a bad situation (or dinner) look good!!  I miss Teyauna the mermaid princess, with her blond curls! I miss Zachary who is a cute bundle of cuddle-able joy!!
All in all. I miss their love for everyone around them (especially me!).
Now I am happy for them! But can't a year be up already???  They are so far away!!!

As Im writing this and looking back on my post it feels kinda lonely. Maybe thats it! The Schafers are always there and so I was never in need of other friends.....now I have to find some?

well theres my rant...thanks for reading!

This ones for you Zach Sobiech.

Hi

This blog post is for a guy named Zach Sobiech. I have been a fan of his for a while, and have become so enthralled with his amazing spirit and love!

Zach was diagnosed with a rare form of terminal cancer called  Osteosarcoma. 

                                                                                                                {please look up}

even thou he didn't have long to live he took each day in his hands and made it the best day ever! He cared so much for his family and he wanted them to be at peace with his passing and so he made sure he smiled every day and then more!  

Zach wrote a song called "Clouds", for his friends and family. I would tell you about it, but I want you to watch it!

He has got to be one of the most amazing people I have ever heard of!   

He passed away today, May 20th 2013.  he will always be remembered by the lives he touched and the spirits he lifted.  He touched my life! And I will always remember him!

Zach, when I go on to the next part in this life I will look for you and I hope I get the chance to shake your hand! You have been an inspiration and a role model in my life!   

Thank You!

Idealism or Realism?

All the time at work I am called Naive. Usually I just smile and get back to my job at hand.  Except for a couple of weeks ago. My coworker was listening how I was talking to a costumer and after I was done she just said "wow, I didn't realize you were that naive."
I dont know why, but this time it hurt. I went home and talked to my mom, I told her everything and what I was feeling. I asked if I am naive and am just not smart. she then told me something.
My Auntie Shania was talking about the same thing and was confronted and told that her and her family are naive and are not living in the real world. she and said something like this;
I am not naive. I know excactly what is in this world and so do my husband and children. Instead of living in the realistic world I prefer to live in a Idealistic one.

I would like to say, I am not naive.  I know what is out there and have probably seen and experienced a lot more then people know. I understand how the world works and do not ignore what is in the world.
I do however chose to live in a idealistic world, in a world that I like and prefer! I like looking for the best in people before I hear the bad, I like looking for the beauty in the world before the garbage.

Sometimes this feels as if Im living in a disney movie, But lets be honest, who doesn't want to live in a disney movie?

George Albert Smith the eighth Prophet of The Church Of Jesus Christ Of Latter Day Saints, lived by resolutions that he called "his creed", 11 ideals. one of which says
“I would not seek to force people to live up to my ideals but rather love them into doing the thing that is right.

I would rather have love in my heart for a person that is doing the right, then forcing them to change and judging for the things they have done. I say this for certain people and the world.

Would you rather live in a Realistic world? or an Idealistic one?

Thank you for reading.
have a magical day!

Revelations

I have come to discover a couple of things as my life goes on.
#1 you will always have to much stuff
And
#2 the Internet connection is bad at night for a reason


#1.
I have WAY to much. Now I tell myself constantly that I'm saving all the junk for my art. Those beads I'll use. And that stereo you took apart one night, sitting your closet. You will need that someday.
Then I think. Well I'm not packing this all up, putting it in a bag and carrying it with me as I travel! So everything I haven't used in two weeks. I get rid of. Books go to moms library and clothes to good will.
I just started. And it's going to be a long road. But I know one thing for sure. I will feel so good not having to look at all the things that I mean to do! And feel so bad about not doing them!

Try and get rid of as much "stuff" as you can! Not only will it make every thing a lot simpler. It will help you focus on the parts of your life where you need focusing!

#2.
As I am sitting in my room trying to type this all out on my phone Blogger app and being really mad at my Internet for not working I realize that it's just a reminder to look at my clock....you know. The one that sits on your dresser or your phone. It haunts you because you know you should be sleeping. (Since sleep is apparently good for you)
Well. Mine days 2:03AM...
So I guess I should say thanks Internet for shutting off and making me sleep.
Naw. I still don't like you!

Have a good day!

MOrgan!

Old friends and fun times.

It's so fun when you have your old friend and your sister together! Thou you have matured you can still remember when you did something ridiculous, and have a laugh!
It's great to see that we have all grown and changed but we still have things in common!

Love you girls!!
