"The Real To-Do List"

1. Sing.
2. Smile at strangers.
3. Keep Learning.
4. Notice Kindness.
5. Eat ice cream.
6. Hope.
7. Count your blessings.
8. Laugh.
9. Love.
10. Love some more.

This is a plaque I have in my room that I got from a friend right before my first year of college started. I haven't really read it in a while and I think it was the perfect time to look at it...
There are those days when I think things just couldn't get any worse....But then I finally snap out of it and realize how truly blessed I am in my life.

I have an amazing family. I seriously couldn't ask for a better one.
They love and care for me and I know that I can always turn to them. We always have so much fun when we are all together! What a blessing it is to have such a great relationship with my family. I love them so much!

Then I have great friends; I've met so many amazing people out here at BYU and friends I've known for years. They strengthen me and help me in my daily life. I know that without them, I wouldn't be the person I am today.

I feel so blessed that I am at BYU. It is such a great school; I worked so hard in highschool to get here and I am so grateful that I have the opportunity to be at this campus. It is amazing... hard, but amazing.
I love being a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints. I don't know where I'd be in my life without this gospel! I feel so lucky- we have amazing leaders and have great guidelines. I am so happy to be a part of this church; I feel like I recieve so many blessings every day that I should recognize a little bit more.
This list could go on and on. I have so much to be grateful for and I need to appreciate it all a lot more.
So when life puts you down, just think of "The Real To-Do List". I know everyone says this but life is too short- so instead of spending it being unhappy or complaining about how things didnt go like you planned, realize all the great things that are out there and that things happen for a reason. Don't sweat the small stuff... be happy...

Thats my two cents for the night. It's something I needed to think about and I figured I'd share it with you.

First of all I would like to say terrific blog! I had a quick question that I'd like to ask if you don't mind.

I was curious to find out how you center yourself and clear your head prior to writing.
I have had a difficult time clearing my mind in getting my thoughts out there.

I truly do enjoy writing but it just seems like the first 10 to 15 minutes tend to be wasted simply just trying to figure
out how to begin. Any suggestions or tips? Thank you!

Howdy just wanted to give you a quick heads up
and let you know a few of the images aren't loading properly. I'm not sure why but I think
its a linking issue. I've tried it in two different web browsers and both show the same outcome.

Presumably the magazine doesn't do works with each source it reproduces, just how does copyright law permit them to re-print editorial content that they don't own without having to pay
royalties?.. Also, can this law be applied internationally?

I do agree with all of the concepts you have introduced to your post.
They are very convincing and can definitely work.

Nonetheless, the posts are too brief for novices.
Could you please prolong them a little from next time?
Thank you for the post.

Write more, thats all I have to say. Literally, it seems as though you
relied on the video to make your point. You clearly know what youre talking about,
why throw away your intelligence on just posting videos to your blog when
you could be giving us something enlightening to read?
