Constants...

I'm feeling really grateful lately for the things in my life that are always constant. My life has spun a little bit out of control, and it's not really going to stop until December 17 and so every time I get to where I think I can't take it any more, I think of all the constant things in my life that I love and will never go away.

• Every time I go home to visit my dogs Zoey and Ziggy are more excited to see me then anybody! It makes my day when I walk in and their running to me like it's been a year instead of a week or two
• The scriptures are always constant, never changing, yet always bring new insight in to my life and brighten my day
• I know I can always call my Mom and she always leaves me feeling a little bit better about my day
• My nieces and nephews will always be there. I love that their love is constant and no matter what's gone on that day they will always give me hugs (Most of the time). In fact, when I do my homework I usually open up a picture of them and just have it in front of me to remind why I'm going through what I am-to be closer to them when I'm finished!
• Prayer! What would I do without prayer! He is always there to listen and that will never change. I think without prayer I would have crumbled about 2 weeks ago.
• Because I'm running out of time, my last 'constant' is about time. I love that the seasons change every year, and that this fall has been especially beautiful. Each change in the weather gets me excited for what's coming. The weather changes a lot in Idaho but it has been that way my whole life and it gives me little things to look foward to which I love!

So family and friends, thanks for being "constants" in my life! I can't wait for the next 2 months to fly by and have my life get back to a more constant pace, but until then, at least I have a few things that keep me going!
