"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 3 and day 4

Day 3: This is going sound really ...crazy/weird/dumb... not sure of the word, but I'm grateful for the governmental monetary assistance we have received over the last few months. It has helped relieve some tension and pressure that I have felt about our finances. It's a little hard to admit, and something that I really haven't told anybody, but the help has been greatly appreciated. 

Day 4: I'm grateful we have the opportunity to vote. I am waiting in line right now to vote. A lot of people have died so that we would have this opportunity. And even though I will probably not live in this city in the future, we are all connected. I was tempted to not vote because we are only living here temporarily, but I'm glad I didn't follow through with that.
