deep thoughts of an avid television watcher

i'm just going to come right out and say it- i love tv. i watch a lot of tv. and i'm not even ashamed. 

moving on...

out of the many shows i obsess over, one of my favorites is so you think you can dance. it's one of those shows where you feel sore just watching some of the moves they do. i've been watching it for quite a while now, and every time i watched it i just wondered why i couldn't dance as incredibly as they could. i would become so overwhelmingly jealous and frustrated with myself because i couldn't do those things. lame, right?

last night, we sat down to watch one of the last episodes of this season. and it dawned on me. i'm not jealous that i can't dance like that. i'm not even envious of how fit and in shape they are (okay, maybe just a little but that's besides the point). i'm more jealous that those people have found something that they are truly passionate about--something that i have yet to find for myself. 

i'm out of school for a while. so i have quite a bit of time on my hands.

and i'm going to find what i'm meant to be passionate about.

ready, set, go.  

now, these are some pretty cool kids.

i think this is kind of awesome. a flash mob of primary songs in downtown ktown complete with dancing and flips and just visual happiness. it doesn't get much better than that.

at first i thought about writing something really thought provoking

but then i watched this video. and i about died laughing. so, i'll save my thoughts for another day and instead share this completely stupid yet incredibly hilarious video with you. i'm still laughing. hopefully it makes you smile just as much as it did for me. enjoy!

you gotta love those british artists

they always seem to have some of the most beautiful songs. and this, my friends, is by far one of the most lovely songs i've heard in a while. it's one of those songs where you just want to listen to it and do nothing else. when i found it on youtube, i just sat on my bed and watched planes take off from my window. and i hit repeat about 10 times. sounds kind of lame, but you know what? it felt pretty great just to listen and just be. i'm pretty into that lately, if you can't tell.

'Cause they say home is where your heart is set in stone 
where you go when you’re alone 
Is where you go to rest your bones 
It’s not just where you lay your head 
It's not just where you make your bed
As long as we’re together, does it matter where we go? 

just a little thought for your sunday

"There is a beauty and clarity that comes from simplicity that we sometimes do not appreciate in our thirst for intricate solutions." -Dieter F. Uchtdorf

most of the time i think we over think things, and therefore we just make everything more complicated for ourselves. and sometimes in this race we call life, we just go and go and we fail to realize and appreciate all the simple and beautiful things around us. we become so busy and continuously wrapped up in one activity or another that we don't take time to just be. not only that, but taking time to truly think about what we're doing with our lives gives us a chance to discover what really matters most.  i could keep going, but just go here and learn from the words of an apostle of Christ. i promise you won't be disappointed.

ich liebe es
