first things first, let me apologize for the recent semi-negative and pessimistic posts. i was feeling down on myself [but i'm a girl and that's what we do best] and i felt like having a public pity party. but negative nancy i am no more and optimistic ollie back!
here's why my week [thus far] rocks:
[1] i read my scriptures and said a little prayer last night [and boy, what a difference that can make!]
[2] i woke up to a wonderful surprise in my e-mail box -- a letter from Aldste Hart! a really good family friend, who my family and i have grown up with, is on a mission in sweden. he has been gone for about 7 months [only 17 more to go!!] and he is missed dearly. jack is preaching the gospel of jesus christ of latter day saints to those lucky swedes. he is allowed to e-mail his family once a week on his p-day. i have been getting his e-mails every week from the start of his mission and they always brighten my day. jackson hart is an amazing individual who has such a strong spirit and testimony. getting back to my original point-- i wrote him a brief e-mail last night because i hadn't heard from him in awhile and when i woke up this morning, i was more than overjoyed to hear from my friend! what a perfect way to start a perfect day of a perfect week!
[3] on my trek to my doctrine in covenants class, i was fortunate enough to cross paths with one of my many friends, scott hulme. he is the lucky feller who gets to travel with me in europe for 3 1/2 weeks on that european humanities tour i told y'all about many moons ago. it was lovely to see him.
[4] i got an 81% on my cost accounting test. yes, it was a miracle of miracles. i am extremely elated with this grade.
[5] i've finished most of my intermediate financial accounting homework for tomorrow! after FHE i get to go to the gym!
i hope tomorrow is as good as today!
advice for the day: BE HAPPY! why be a miserable pessimist when you have a wonderful life filled with people who love you?!
xoxo ollie the optimist
