10:45 am - Thank My Heavenly Father
So I got my period last night I have never been so grateful to be crampy and feel yucky in my whole life. I seriously will never drink again. The relief is unbelievable and it's back to real life now...

12:59 pm - Chinese New Year
I think that it is fascinating that today is the Chinese New Year... Today truly is my new year and my new beginning- I am a new person today. I have deeply repented and felt the pain of my wrongs and now I am moving on to better things, a better me. :)

12:43 pm - redemption
I struggle with church and to live the gospel- I fear being righteous because I become concerned that I will miss out on life. I now know that nothing heavenly father asks us to do is for any reason other than to protect us and enable us to feel his love and his presence in our lives. I have never felt this kind of pain as a result of not drinking or not swearing, or reading my scriptures or going to church. I will probably falter quite a bit in my life during this journey through my days. If I am truly right with myself and good to myself, that implicitly includes living the gospel that my Heavenly Father and Brother Jesus Christ have gifted to me to bring me home to them.
I have discussed this upcoming year with dr. G and we have decided that my goal is to be as happy and comfortable with myself and my life as I am when I'm at church in the rest of my life. I think that is pretty powerful and an incredible testament to the joy and truth that is part of this church. How can I do this? pray, read my scriptures, be kind, be modest, be thoughtful and loving; be conscientious of what goes in my eyes and ears and soul and what comes out of my mouth... serve others and faithfully fulfill my callings; be around people who share my values and love me for who I am.
