love and reason

i bought a necklace that reads

it is love, not reason, that is stronger than death

as i've been wearing it the past few days i've thought to myself...if i have love for others and love for myself (in the least pigheaded way possible) i don't need to worry or be sad. if i love others and feel the love that my heavenly father has for me, i can be strengthened even against the sorrows of death. what a comfort this quote gives me; the past few weeks have been very difficult with my brother being gone. it's a daily battle to try not to cry and get upset and the longing for him to give me a hug grows everyday but how great it is to know that the love i have for him is stronger than death. huzzah! i will prevail.

i'm pretty sure that may be the best 4 dollars i've spent :)

my family recently placed all of our old family videos, which were on huge tapes, onto DVD. such a great investment i assure you. here is just a little taste of how cute my family is when we were little...this video joys my heart.

so now that i've been strengthened in the knowledge that love prevails all, hasn't that been a long outstanding cliche line for centuries?, i am ready to set off and face the world head on.

my message to the world... bring it on (with as much enthusiasm as a cheerleader!)
