"Finish each day and be done with it. You have done what you could; some blunders and absurdities have crept in; forget them as soon as you can. Tomorrow is a new day; you shall
begin it serenely and with too high a spirit to be encumbered with what might have been instead
embrace the moment with what can be"

*Scatter Sunshine*
I have a pretty great job. I love helping people and the opportunity to make a different in peoples lives through my work. I have always loved working in Social Services and helping people.
Sometimes when your feeling like you are no body special or that how can I alone make a difference... when you least expect it there comes a simple yet profound moment to remind you of the light you are in someones life by a simple act of kindness or by simply a smile.
Its 3 a.m. right now and I am working a night shift like always. I really do enjoy my work, the people I work with, my friends at work and especially the joy I have in the experience of helping new mothers with their newborns.
The veil between heaven and earth is very thin in these precious moments when these babies leave their heavenly homes to their earthly homes it is a humble and magical moment I have felt the spirit so many times and am constantly reminded of a greater power among us of a loving Heavenly Father and his eternal plan it is amazing...
Anyway tonight I had a special thing happen to me that meant a lot to me.. I got a new patient at 2 a.m. and While helping her get settled in and help her do something as use the restroom and get cleaned up she and her husband told me... We really just want to thank you so very much for the kindness that you have shown us.. you have been the only Nurse we have had that has treated us with such kindness, compassion and care. If only more people could be like you. You have no idea how much this kindness has meant to us.
This really touched my heart and I was honored to know that in some small way I could bring some sunshine into their lives in some way. We show our hearts and our countenances through the way we treat others. I know I am not perfect but it is important to me to try and do the best I can to help others alongtheir way the best that I can. I am really thankful for these simple yet wonderful moments that allow you to scatter sunshine!!

Corn Belly's
I had such a great weekend! Saturday we celebrated my nephew Ashton's 4th Birthday! We had a BBQ at my sister Kelly's house in Eagle Mountain its so much fun when all 5 of my nieces and nephews get together we have lots of fun.
This day was also fun because all of my sisters were together. I have always felt so lucky growing up with 3 older sisters we have lots of fun together and always have a good time so it was nice all 4 of us being together.
So Corn Bellys is located at Thanksgiving Point I had never been before it was soo much fun. I was so impressed there were so many fun activities to do. After presents and cupcakes and ice cream all that for the rest of Ashton's Birthday we went to Corn Bellys 2 of my sisters took the little kids to do the "not scary" activities and my Sister Kim, Niece Ashlee and Bro. In Law Chaz and I did the scary stuff for halloween it was soo much fun. There were 3 different haunted things to go through a 3D House, A Haunted Creature you walked in his mouth and walked through his body and ended... yeah you know lol then the scariest and funnest thing was the Haunted Corn Maze...
My sis and niece were fradey cats and made me walk in front during the maze and my brother in law in the back so this was outside in high corn stocks it was sooo scary and I am absolutely petrified of the Chain Saw Man in haunted houses if you have ever seen the Texas Chain Saw Massacure thats why... and chain saw men are always in haunted houses.
So we were walking through the scary maze holding on to each other and out of no where comes this chain saw man my sister and niece were scared they ran in front of me and accidently pushed me well they pushed me out of the way good.. i flew into the corn stock and and landed on the ground on my back.. I tried sitting up but was kinda sorta wrapped up in the corn stocks so during this the chain saw man was in my face scaring me my sister and niece ran off and my brother in law was just sitting there almost crying from laughing so hard at me.
So I got up and ran.. after wards we all laughed so hard my sister said all she saw when she ran off was me falling and my brother in law and the chain saw man were laughing at me. Chaz said he would have helped me but was laughing too hard:)
Anyway that was a blast I love haunted houses and can't wait to go to some more. Our last thing we did all together was a Hay Ride it was a blast I love my fam and love spending time with them!!
