Phew...we just finished our Media Mock Trial! I feel so relaxed and relieved to have that finished! I do want to write about the actual case that did occur years ago (it's super interesting to listen to the differing points of view and see how research can be used to make policy changes), but for now I want to take a moment to relax and think positively.
I am very grateful that I have the opportunity to attend Brigham Young University and to take important classes like Family Media-- which has been life changing for me! I am grateful for a wonderful professor who feels passionately about what she studies, what she is becoming as a person and shares her gifts with all of us. I don't think I've ever left her class feeling like a failure or that I learned nothing. I always go away feeling empowered to change the way I live and how I can help teach others (particularly my own children).
I am grateful for a husband that chooses every day to love me and help me develop my own gifts and talents. I can be stubborn, a poor communicator and passive aggressive...and not only does he understand that about me, but accepts me for everything that I am (weaknesses and all). I love him and I hope I can remember that it's a choice to love and give of yourself.
Wow, that moment felt great. I didn't really know what I was going to say...but I'm glad that I took a moment to write about things I don't talk about or sometimes fail to see every day. I hope I can learn to take some time every day to appreciate the influences in my life that at times, I put on the back-burner.
Take time today to feel at peace and think of the good influences in your life :)
