This morning was exactly what I needed {I decided to go to a different ward today so that gave me a couple extra hours}. I took my time getting ready for church and I still had 3 hours to myself. So I took the opportunity to enjoy the quiet time. My pandora station was set to piano but everything else was quiet. I sat at my desk and wrote. I wrote in my journal, letters to missionaries, and cards to friends. There is something so fulfilling about writing down thoughts...which could be why I enjoy blogging. Life has been a little crazy lately and I haven't been setting aside time for personal writing. I'm trying to make that a goal because it brings me peace.

So whenever life gets busy, take a moment to breathe. Take a moment to write down what you're feeling. Embrace whatever life hands you and write it down. You'll appreciate it later on.
