 keep. going.
which is my theme for 2015 if I learned anything at all its the adage that "this to shall pass" and they do life goes by so fast
enjoy it create it make it what you want
I want 2015 to be deeper
more thoughtful
more meaningful
more follow through
more here with what matters most
more time with what matters
more spiritual connections for all of us
more temple
more scripture study
more FHE's with thought and meaning
more running
more intune.

essentially to keep. going. harder. 
not to let little things bother me
to let go of what doesn't matter
and concentrate on the important 5 around me:)
Here's to 2015
For an amazing one for all of us:)

What things would you like to see more of on the blog? 
Ideas? Thoughts ? Rants;) life?
