"Life is to be enjoyed, not just endured."

Well folks, starting today, I actually get to keep a blog! Y'all know how much I've wanted to start a blog and now, for my class, I get to accomplish this goal.

Blogs aren't just a task to get done. Blogs aren't just something to do to pass the time. A blog is a way to keep track of the different events occurring in life. Thus, I named this blog "A Day in the Life of" to show those events that happen day to day, week to week.

I will not be posting each day in this blog. I am a college student. Let's be honest, I can barely keep track of my own classes and work let alone adding a blog onto that. I will be posting once a week, though, to keep track of everything happening in life and how I can apply the things I learn to my future.

I hope as you read my blog each week that you'll find new things YOU want to apply to YOUR own life. Personally. FOR YOU!

One of my favorite quotes is by President Gordon B. Hinckley:

"Life is to be enjoyed, not just endured."

My thoughts turn to this quote as I begin this blog for at least this semester. (I hope I can keep up with it after this semester is over, though.)

How can I, or we, enjoy life and not just endure it?

Life is a blissful thing we've been given! For ME, I want to take life day to day, finding positives and turning any negatives I come across into positives. For ME, I will set goals and make plans to accomplish the goals I have. (This being one of those goals.)

And so, folks, I begin this blog to focus on the positives of life. While life is not just about the positives, it is about finding joy in the journey. I hope to portray that as I keep this blog. I will not just post the positives of life but will post about turning any negatives into positives as well.

So I bid you adieu until next time.
