A change of heart.

So for those of you that don't know me, I am the legit the Grinch/Scrooge/whateveryouwannacallit of snow. It's baddd. Sometimes randomly, I like it but usually I can't stand it. Mostly I can't stand being in it. I dunno, maybs I'm weird. Anyways, this morning, as it was dumping snow I was not having it. Any of it. I woke up early to write my french paper, thankfully didn't see the snow during those couple hours, but then 7am rolled around, and I was starting to think about going to school. Normally I'm on campus by 7:30 at the latest to practice for a bit before class, but from 7- almost 9am, literally all I was doing was talking to myself, trying to convince myself to not go to school; to have a snow day. Mostly cause, if I lived in any other state besides Utah it probably would have been a snow day. #Iamdramaticok haha.

Anyways, from 7-9 I am literally just striding back and forth in my apt. Trying to talk myself out of going to school and into having my own little snow day. *SPOILER ALERT* my responsible side won. But that's not to say I was happily living with my decision. I was a whiny grumpy piece of attitude for most of the day, sometimes outwardly, sometimes inwardly.

And I wish I could say I had counted my blessings sooner, but it didn't happen til about 3:30pm. I was in trio rehearsal and we were playing this heavenly music. (The first movement of if) and it just hit me... I am I being such a grumpy gills about some silly snow? I realized how silly it was. And how I should really try and be more grateful.

Something that has been in EVERY SINGLE Priesthood blessing I've gotten since being home is gratitude. Every person I've received a blessing from has said some short little snippet on it. I think Heavenly Father's up there like, "Here's your sign!" So I would really like to focus more on that. I am so blessed. SO BLESSED. So I hope that I can better remember that the next time it dumps snow and I have to go outside in it. Which, if I'm being honest with myself... Will probs be tonight ;)

Plus, I gotta wear this awesome sweater all day long :) Thanks J-Dawg. So, life is good.

Well, until next time! I should probs catch up on my journal writing before I blog again though...

L'evangile est vraie!

Love, Pono
