Avery's Adventures!

These times have been so hard for everyone. It can be hard to find hope with the way things are right now, but there is always hope. Bad things don't last forever; we can remember the good things that we currently have or will come to pass. Good things are in store and I know we can heal from the difficult time we are all going through. All will be well and things will get better.

"Even the darkest night will end and the sun will rise." -Les Misérables      With the everything that's happening in the world it seems that there is no end in sight, and the world seems dark. When there's a storm the sun will always come out. I know I've needed that reminder a lot lately; I know the virus isn't going to last forever. We just need to keep our heads up and have faith that everything will be okay. Trials aren't meant to be permanent.  I have faith this isn't going to be permanent.

      Heartbreak, the worst thing anyone can go through. Whether it's a from a romantic relationship or a friendship it still hurts just the same. The bright side is that it doesn't last forever. Sometimes in life we have to go through life and learn painful lessons that make us become better people. When something bad happens that means something good and better is on its way, and we just need to have patience. In The Book of Mormon there is a wonderful verse that explains this beautifully, "And if men come unto me I will show unto them their weaknesses. I give unto men weakness that they may be humble; and my grace is sufficient for all men that humble themselves before me; for if they humble themselves before me, and have faith in me, then I will make weak things become strong unto them." -Ether 12:27     We are repeatedly told that everything happens for a reason; this is true. I love this truth. There are times where I still need to be reminded of that. Good

 "Now is the time to seize the day!"    This is one of my favorite quotes from one of my favorite musicals! We must seize the day everyday and live life to the fullest. It can be scary, but it's so worth it. I love going out and seeing what adventures are in store to make life more exciting.  We can't live life wanting everyday to be the same; change can be intimidating but it is so beneficial in the end. Change gives us opportunities to grow and become better people. None of us are perfect, we all have things we need to work on. When we seize the day we get opportunities to change.

  What I love the most about a new month is that it gives us the opportunity to get a clean slate and a chance to achieve what we want to. I'm grateful for new chances and opportunities. There is so many exciting things coming up this month that I'm looking forward to. Having something to look forward to is one of the best ways to boost your mood; I know that's something that helps me!  "With each sunrise we are given a chance for a new beginning!" What is something you're looking forward to this month? What is something you're hoping to achieve? I am excited to see what this month has to offer and go on adventures, Life is wonderful.

"There is a difference between missing someone and missing having someone."    There are times where people are part of our lives to teach us something. Sometimes they stay, and other times they leave. That can be a heartbreaking thing, but as the old saying goes "Everything happens for a reason."  I often have to be reminded of this lesson. There are people who I miss so much, but I know the lesson I was supposed to learn has been taught and I'm forever grateful because I have become a better person because of what I learned from them. There's a quote from my favorite musical that says "Because I knew you, I have been changed for good." 💚
