Ode To Summer

Hey! I have had a crazy week. Some of the highlights were, I think I was unofficialy dumped; I saw Harry Potter 7 pt2 two days before the majority of everyone else!!! =D I broke my hand mountain biking. And I get to teach in relief society for the first time this sunday!

(I am mostly typing this with my left hand, so this entry may be shorter than planned.)

You know that quote "You can't always get what you want, but sometimes you might just get what you need." Vell, I think that is a lesson that I've had to learn this summer. I know summer's not over yet, but I haven't quite gotten what I've wanted, but have learned some valuable lessons.

First of all, I've learned a bit more about Lindsey, me, I have a little bit of a chip on my shoulder, I'm very independant, and I love to listen to Taylor Swift non-stop when I'm sad about a relationship. I've also had my faith confirmed in the power of love, and more specifically of God's love! I've been able to get myself back up and remember the bigger picture, thinking always about the eternal perspective and finding humor and wisdom in my faults and tribulations.

Secondly I've learned that my gut instinct has honest-to-heaven always been right about the people I come in contact with, those I date, and that I really don't like gravely trails for mountain biking! Not to mention what career choices I feel I should make, and probably concerning my confusion as tohether I should serve a mission or not (the latter is still being digested in my gut, waiting to be decided upon...)

Thirdly, it is easy to stick with what one knows or understands best, but change is constant, and eveyone learns something new each day. Therefore it would seem that what we really know how to do best is to change. That and everyone is a master of patience and faith. We are always having to wait for something, therefore believing, or having faith that what we are waiting for will come to pass...

I could go on about religion, my thoughts on relationships and the ending of the Harry Potter Era, but I am too tired right now. I will simply leave you with an encouragement to find what lessons you have, or can learn this summer and write your own Ode To Summer.... =)
