Life is too short not to love every day...

I know that sometimes I get caught up in my life and how things aren't going my way, and it seems whenever I get that way, there is something to bring me back. Today my coach shared a videography of a little boy and his family with me and another teammate. This boy was only 4 1/2 years old and had been battling luekemia. As I watched this video with tears in my eyes and I watched the joy that this little boy had even knowing he didn't have much time left made me think about what is really important.

My life is a little crazy right now and I feel like I have nothing that is constant in my life. Everything is changing and most days I can't seem to find something that I can really count on always being there, and today it hit me. Family...my family is amazing. I have two wonderful parents who care so much for me and I know would give the world for me. They love me no matter what mistakes I make, or how different our views might be of things, I know they always love me. I have two brothers who bring light into my life when it seems like the worst. They always know how to make me laugh. Last, but not least I have an amazing little sister. We may not always get along, but she is a great example to me. She always writes me notes when I'm away at school and leaves them on my bed for me to find. Thank you family for always being there no matter what!

It is sad that it takes things like someone losing a life for me to realize what is truly important. I am so thankful that my Heavenly Father is patient with me and continues to teach me lessons I so quickly forget. I have no reason not to love everyday. So my challenge for myself this month is to find one thing I love about everyday. Today that is my family.
