Good things, good times, good life

I've always tried to be one of those people who saw the good in everything, and the beauty everywhere and in everything. I try to be optimistic. Sometimes I fail and hate life. Life is just really hard. It doesn't make sense. But, it's so much better when you forget the bad things in life and dwell on the positive. There is always 10 times more good things than bad. Just because you have a bad day, doesn't mean you have a bad life. Count the good times. I bet they crush the bad times. Add it up all the good and you have a good life. Because, you REALLY do have a good life.

I'm just SO GRATEFUL. Grateful for everything. We have to have hard times, otherwise, the good times wouldn't be so great. I think our trials in fact make our life better. Because we learn so much from them and appreciate all the good in life so much more.

I think perfect should not be a word. Honestly, nothing is perfect. I'm sure not. Always strive to be your best, not perfect. What would life be if we were all perfect? Our flaws make us who we are. You are flawsome.

Life is pretty great. Regardless of my imperfect body, life, whatever.

I'm kinda, not so great at posting, and when I do, it's lamesauce. Anyhow.

Ladies and gents: my life as of late.........

 Naked Juice....gosh. Love the stuff. 

MY CACTUS BLOOMED! I've had Fredricko for about 5 years! *is proud* and I opened my window one day to see this weird green, hard, oval lump growing out of my cactus! I watched it over the next week bloom into this beautiful, as big as the cactus flower! I'm sad I didn't snap a lot of pictures of it, especially when it was HUGE. dang it. #Foreveralonewithmyplants

Elevation.....I can't stop thinking about it. I wear my elevation E1 band every day, to remind me to be awesome, and to live a meaningful life. xD Just a few random pictures. (NOTE: I did not take these pictures, credit goes to Sanneke, Elevation, and whoever else. Thanks for not being lazy like me and actually taking pictures! I'm also on my laptop so I don't have all my pictures with everyone. dang it.) 

 CINNAMON ROLL HUG!! Man. I love these guys!! 

 (Left to Right) Me, I look ridiculous *eye roll*, my brotha from anotha motha, good friend/twin, and I'm his body guard. hah. Love these guys xD 

 Faking the HAKA! haha We're so cool. I love this girl. :)

 The girls of Pod1 and our awesome pod leader, Heather. :) I was so lucky to end up in a pod with some of my besties. :)

Yeah, that's me. Yeah, I look ridiculous. Hah. Yeah, that stuff under my eyes....it's sharpie......yeah...it gave me a near migraine. But it was worth it. xD

This picture....is interesting and awkward. Hah. I competed in the Williamsburger (which is like a triathlon, but instead of biking, you do climbing and single rope ascension.). I REALLY did not want to do it. But I did, and everyone signed me for support. :D I came in third. Second in running. First in climbing. First in ascension. (36 SECONDS!!) annnd I didn't finish the swim.....I'm getting swimming lessons. Yup. Anywho. I'm soooo happy with third. xD

 Home sweet Home. My canyon. My Home. :) I love this place SO much. :)))))))

Exploring...I never knew that island (where the picture was taken) was there....and I'd driven past it how many times?? CRAAAZY. And it's full of buffalo and little red baby buffalo and it's gorgeous. :D I love the earth. 

 Hiking. <3333 This has gotta be one of my favorite hikes. It's so beautiful. 

I also see this lovely creature on that hike. Every time. hah.  

(it's a rattlesnake, in case you didn't know) 

How I feel when having to do something....Kinda. hah. This makes me laugh xD  

Summer sunsets. *smile* 

My lake! (This was taken out of the car, thus the bad quality.) I love this place so much! Sometimes it's as if it were glass, some times it's a deep ocean blue, and most times, it's a beautiful aqua color. My favorite. Can't wait to go splash in it this weekend and throughout the summer! Yay, whoot! xD 

Photo album for my missionary brother! It's taken me about a year to get it done! (life is just too crazy and busy, it's quite pathetic though) Well, it's ALMOST done. :) I have such a love/hate relationship with designing. hah. Here's just a little sneak peak! 

Imagine Dragons. I love them so much. I especially love that some of them are Mormon. I love that it's awesome, good music. xD This is my favorite, it's just so...happy(:

Anyways. That's my life lately. Great, isn't it? I just think life is great no matter what. xD I've been doing cross country, and I'm going to start up tennis again, and I'm DYING to go climbing, every second of every day. The weather is SO nice. A little hot. But nice and sunny. 

Last night at around 11 pm I ran outside to lay on the grass and watch the lighting light up the sky and the thunder shake the ground. The air smelt of rain and a few small drops landed on my face. The trees were blowing. Leaves blew across the road. Storms are one of my favorite things. I love 'em. *smile* I love the earth, so very much. 

On that  lovely note, watch this....

Always remember, you are infinite. Anything is possible. Life is good. No. Matter. What. You are loved. Embrace life. All of it. Smile. Be happy. Be you. :)
