it's not how many times you fall...

it's how many times you get back up.

folks, today was a crappy day. let's face it.

I was cranky. I was not in the mood to learn. Listen. Or do my work.

...

then, I talked to my mom. I cried. And things got better. I visited with a good friend. And things got better. I had another phone call (this time it was a nice boy asking me on a date). And you better believe things got better. I went to Relief Society. Things got better. I got to know the sisters just a little bit more. I felt happy. I laughed. And this time? I laughed until I cried.

...

so, even though my day wasn't going the way I wanted, a few kind words made it all better.

make it a goal to smile and say hi to someone new today (or tomorrow). or call up an old friend you haven't talked to in a while. send a facebook message to someone who you might have lost touch with.

it may just change their day.
