    The Weekend 

The weekend that just passed was pretty good  had so much fun. On Saturday I went to go eat at Chick-Fil-A for the first time. When I went there the food smelled so good and it taste so good too! After I went to go eat I went shopping to Walmart because the next day my whole family was going to go to Santa Fe Dam! On Sunday we had woken up late to go to Santa Fe Dam because we had woken up one hour late.  Even though we woke up late we all had fun at Santa Fe Dam.

The 9 Ways to Be Happy and Make Something of Your Life

9 Ways to be Happy and Make Something of your Life

Gordon B. Hinckley 

The Nine Ways to

Be Happy and Make Something of Your Life

Way 1: Be Grateful

"Gratitude creates the most wonderful feeling. It can resolve disputes. It can strengthen friendships. And it makes us better men and women."

It is important to be grateful because you get a good feeling from being grateful. People that are grateful are the people that are more successful in there life than to not be grateful. People that are grateful have a higher chance to have manners than people that don't have manners. People that are grateful have a sign that they are good kids/ adults. 



Way 2: Be Smart

"Train your mind and your hands to become an influence for good as you go forward with your life. Perform excellence."

It is important to be smart because your intelligence makes who you are. Being smart can also lead to discovering more and more things.  People that are smart feel great about them self's. You can teach other people stuff they don't understand. Being smart can lead to bigger things in your life. Having a good intelligence can put you in all the smart classes to challenge your own mind. 

Way 3: Be Involved in Good Works

"Be willing to work, for it will make all the difference in your life."

It is important to be involved in good works because you start to do good things. In addition you start to go greater things in your life to be a greater person. People that get involved in Good Works have a good chance of not doing something bad.

Way 4: Be Clean 

"Be clean in every way. Delight in being clean. Relish the challenge of standing above and beyond the base trends of the world. You will never regret it."

I think it is important to be clean all the time because people are going to think that you are a homeless person living in the streets. It is one of the important things to do to not catch a disease. 

Way 5: Be True

"Be true to what is right and fair and honest."

I think this quote is talking about being fair and honest and how it is important because people can be liars and not be fair. People in the real world can be mean and be rude to you. In addition people that are true are people that care, people that are nice to you and they help you go through things.

Way 6: Be Positive

"There is good all around us--if we will only look for it. When good men and good women face challenges with optimism, things will always work out!"

I think it is important to be positive because if you think negative then pure negativity is going to go through your head. Being positive can bring your hopes up. On the other hand people that are negative bring their own hopes down. Being positive can have you to be in different moods for example being happy, excited and certain.

Way 7: Be Humble

"Don't be arrogant. The world is full of arrogant people. There is no place for arrogance. There is no place for conceit. There is no place for egotism."

It is important to be humble because if you're not humble people are going to think that are are not a good person to rely on. In addition to that people are not going to make you do stuff for them. I think this quote is explaining that people are arrogant and they're not humble.   

Way 8: Be still

"Find time to drown out the noise of the world. Take time to think about the kind of person you want to become."

It is important to be still because being still can help you from hide noise from the world so that you wouldn't be distracted on what you are doing and other things. In addition to being still is that people can help you with being still unlike yourself that cant do it alone. 

Way 9: Be Prayerful

"Prayer will change your life. It will bring you peace. It will give you direction and guidance."

Summer Vacation

Summer Vacation 

         Summer vacation was one of the boring vacations ever!! Although I liked it because it felt long and I would wake up so late but go to sleep late. Even though I had fun doing all those things it felt like it was so boring.
