Dancing in the Rain

"Life isn't about waiting for the storm to pass. It's about learning to dance in the rain."

Sounds Like Life

I love the message in the chorus of this song....

Sounds like life to me, aint no destiny
Yeah, the only thing for certain is uncertainty
You gotta hold on tight, just enjoy the ride
Get used to all this unpredictability, sounds like life
Man, I know its tough but you gotta suck it up
To hear you talk you're caught up in some tragedy
Sounds like life to me.
'Sound Like Life To Me' by Darryl Worley

Fourteen Reasons to Forgive

Today in Relief Society the lesson was on Forgiveness. This was a great lesson for me. I try to forgive and forget things but, of course I am not perfect. The teacher gave us all a handout with some information from the Mayo Clinic Medical Experts on Forgiveness. Click here for the rest of the information.

Fourteen Reasons to Forgive:
  • Lowers blood pressure.
  • Reduces everyday stress.

  • Healthier relationships.

The Other Boleyn Girl - Book

I just finished reading 'The Other Boleyn Girl'. I love this time in history and love reading about this time. I really enjoyed this book. It was interesting and at some point made me really mad. The story is about two sisters, Mary and Anne Boleyn, who are seducing the King of England in order to bring their family farther up the social ladder. Their main goal is to have a son with the king, an heir to the throne, because at this point the king has no heir. This book was full of drama, sex, jealousy, and sisterly competition. I haven't seen the movie yet, but I look forward to renting it. If you haven't read it, this is definately a good book to read.
