"The desire to create is one of the deepest yearnings of the human soul. No matter our talents, education, backgrounds or abilities, we each have an inherent wish to create something that did not exist before. Everyone can create. You don’t need money, position, or influence in order to create something of substance or beauty. You might say, I am not the creative type. If that is how you feel, think again. Creation is your opportunity in this life….. Start small. Creativity does not require a brush, a pen, or the keys of a piano. Don’t let the voice of critics paralyze you. You will make the World a better place. Improve, beautify, extend, smile, cultivate, develop, create."
~President Dieter F. Uchtdorf

Gratitude day 21 and 22

I will be honest. I've had a hard time thinking of something I am grateful for everyday. I know I have many blessings, but I really have a hard time focusing on that sometimes.

Day 21: I am grateful Corey has been able to learn so much from his internship. He has met some incredible people, helped a few out, gotten some great advice, grown so much. He truly doesn't want to work anywhere else. I hope it works out like that.

Day 22: I am grateful for the satisfying feeling of cleaning something that hasn't been cleaned in awhile.


In other news, I took a picture of Lexie's hand this morning.


This is what her hand looked like on Wednesday. 


And these are the bandages I get to change twice a day. It's quite a process, and she cries almost the whole time. I can't do it by myself, I have to have her sit on someone's lap and then I try to get it done as quick as I can. I get everything cut and ready, lids off, all laid out, and it still takes a little bit.


She's still such a cutie.
