"It was the best of times, it was the worst of times; it was the age of wisdom, it was the age of foolishness; it was the epoch of belief, it was the epoch of incredulity; it was the season of Light, it was the season of Darkness; it was the spring of hope, it was the winter of despair; we had everything before us, we had nothing before us; we were all going directly to Heaven, we were all going the other way."
Can anyone name the author? Charles Dickens. For some reason this quote (ok, just the first few parts) has been in my mind the last few days. I finally figured out that it’s because all of the randomness in my head has been taking on this famous opposite pattern. Don’t ask why. I have no idea.
Today I feel…
Educated because I am taking a constitution class and am learning the details of our divine government
Ignorant because the more I learn about stuff the more I realize how much I don’t know
Frustrated that my mind is always so strong and my body has a hard time keeping up
Encouraged that I can recover from injury
Worried about the future
Relieved that the house we want might actually be ours
Joyful that I still have a summer ahead of me
Sad that it is going to go by so fast
Grateful that I have such a great family
Self centered that I don’t tell them enough how great they really are
You are onto something good ol’ Charles. I guess the best of times can be the worst of times. Huh.

I have learned that life is just that- worst and best of times... If a situation is in the "worst" catagory- I know that the Lord has put it there for me to face- nd that is a blessing- so it makes it the best of times. Kind of dramatic sometimes, but worth it. Great to hear about the house! So fun for you guys!
I don't even know how to comment to this post! I think I am not a very deep thinker! I loved everything you said!
