Not much has happened since my last post. I live a pretty boring life, but a good life. Looking back on where I was this time last year and where I am now has been such an eye opener. I have loved every minute of it good or bad. Life is such a fragile gift, one that is taken for granted. I realize how often I forget to show my friends and family what a big part of my life they are. How I wouldn't be the same person without them. How sometimes I just want to forget about some parts of my life, some peoples action in my life. Then, I stop and realize that we are all human. We all make mistakes, we can choose how we react, how we handle the situation, how we ultimately feel. Life isn't always pretty, life is messy, sad, unreal, ever changing. But with that change comes a rebirth, a chance to right our wrongs, to forgive those who continually hurt us, give those we doubt just one more chance. And then I realize, things will work out and it's not for me to determine when, or how. I am so grateful for the knowledge I have, what a gift each day is. For those who read this, please know that you do make a difference to me and those around you. Never give up, never change!

beautifully said Courtney!!
Your life doesn't seem 'boring' to me! I mean, not that I really know you personally or anything, but it looks like you're always having a lot of fun...
You are right - people will hurt you over and over and over. This is a cruel, mean world. Thank you for writing the post. Sometimes I think I'm the only person who thinks this world is horrible. Jim probably thinks I'm a cynic, but let's be honest, it's a jungle out there!
Thank you for your words, they were very inspiring! You're right- life is not easy and it definitely wasn't meant to be. I have a book by Sheri Dew that is called, "If Life Were Easy, It Wouldn't Be Hard." There's so much truth to that! Hang in there and keep being the positive, smart, kind, girl that you are! :)
Also, I have this quote by Pres. Hinckley that pretty much says that no matter how tough life can be, it will always work out- no matter what. If you want it, let me know and I will email it to you! Have a great week!
