6 years ago today

So I found myself tonight sitting on my bed, putting off my homework, and feeling sorry for myself. Again. I hate being 24 (in 2 weeks), living in provo, and still in school. I dont really have a bad life sometimes I just think I do. But I have so much to be grateful for.

Six years ago today some of my best friends were in a car accident. My friend Brian Lahti, who had been offered to go play baseball at several colleges was hit the worst and the doctors said he would never be able to use his limbs again. Brian will be graduating from Berkley Law School next year and is simply remarkable. He has overcome the odds and has accomplished more than most people his age. I've never heard him complain once about the situation he is in and he has always made the most of his life. He is such a great example to me and everyone around him.

So like the hymn says, I need to stop feeling sorry for myself and count my many blessings. "So when amid the conflict whether great or small, Do not be discouraged God is over all. Count your many blessings angels will attend, help and comfort give you to your journey's end."

Thanks Bry!
