Gratitude for Service

I am so grateful for the good people in this world that love to serve others, and when they serve me; it makes me even more grateful for them.  There was a lady at the store today in front of me at the check out line.  I had a ton of groceries to load on the belt while holding little Isaac.  She turned to me and said, "Let me help you unload your groceries.  You have your little baby with you, and I want to help!"  I said, "Okay, thank you so much!"  So then she helped, and I wanted to thank her again, but she left with her groceries before I could.  I just love people like that.

I also just started thinking about what others have done for me when I needed help the most.  Right after I had my baby in the hospital, there were a whole bunch of women in the Relief Society (women's organization of the LDS church) that brought me meals for two weeks straight!  I was just amazed at how many of them volunteered to make us dinner.  I will be forever grateful for every single one of them that did that for us.  Most of those meals were so delicious, too!  These women know how to cook.  :)

These are just a couple examples of service that others have done for me.  It's people like this that make me have a desire to serve others.  I'm so grateful for them.  Because they touched me, I want others to feel the same way that I have.

We need to be POSITIVE

I should probably blog more, but I just never really know what to write about.  I always want to write inspiring words, anything that will help people in their lives to become better people.  Because that's what I want to do.  I swear that's what I was born to do... to help others.  I haven't been doing much of that in my blog lately though, huh?  I mean, I want to show off my little Isaac sometimes too, and let people catch up on our lives.  I won't stop doing that, but I think I'm going to try to make my blog more meaningful.

I know I can't help everyone.  No matter how hard I try sometimes, I feel like I want to do so much more but then I just can't.  I just gotta try my best, and that's all that matters, right?  Even if sometimes I feel like I haven't done my best, I shouldn't get so down on myself.  I read a blog once about drops of awesomeness.  Every time you do something good, take it as a drop of awesomeness.  That way you're not always focusing on all the negative things and more on the positive.  I need to do that more.  I think everyone should do that.  We all need more positivity in our lives and get rid of anything that's negative.

Remember livejournal?

I remember when I had a livejournal, and I wrote in it all the time.  I thought it was so cool.  It was kind of the social network before myspace and facebook.  I still have it somewhere.  Let me go look for it... looking....  haha, found it.  Click here to view my lifejournal

Those were the days.  Haha.  I was probably a lot more annoying than I am now.  I was strange and naive.  I think I still am sometimes.  I have changed quite a bit, though.

Did anyone else have a lifejournal?  If you had one and it's still on the internet, you should share it with me if you're not too embarrassed about it.

P.S- I need some help with some things on my blog.  Can anyone tell me how to change the font other than the options that are on the main blog entry page?  And also, how do you add the facebook and Pinterest signs like most people have to let other people connect to their other accounts?  I might need to get someone in person to help me out, but maybe I'll be smart enough to figure it all out if someone helps me out through a comment or message.  Thank you!
