Laughing through life is better than crying through life--though crying sometimes feels good too

"There are some years in our lives that we would not want to live again.  But even these years will pass away, and the lessons learned will be a future blessing."

"Elder Neal A. Maxwell once said, "We are here in mortality, and the only way to go is through; there isn't any around!"  I would add, the only way to get through life is to laugh your way through it.  You either have to laugh or cry.  I prefer to laugh.  Crying gives me a headache.

-Marjorie Pay  Hinckley

Be patient in afflictions, for thou shalt have many but endure them, for, lo, I am with thee, even unto the end of thy days.

-D&C: 24:8

I can't believe it's already the last month of 2013.  This year was a toughie but one can always find something to be grateful for when looking for it.  I don't know how I will feel in the future when I look back on this year, but I hope to gain a stronger sense of compassion, fortified self-worth, and a better understanding of the love of my Heavenly Father.

I had a nice holiday break from school, because I went home to be with my parents, sisters, nieces, nephews, and friends.  I especially enjoyed being with the children.  I love their liveliness, honesty, innocence, and meekness.  It is so fun to watch them learn and grow and incredible to me how they grasp complex linguistic concepts so quickly!

Back at school, I have opportunities to laugh daily with my fellow classmates!  I love laughing and stupid jokes!
