Courage at a crossroad is different that boring everyday courage. Though I profusely lack both kinds, I seem to be at an all-time low of the everyday kind. Because with a stockpile of the everyday kind, the crossroads kind just comes naturally. I lack courage to get on my knees and be humble. I lack the courage to make good food choices. I lack the courage to just accept trials at work when they come. I lack courage to open up to the world. I lack the courage to go to bed on time so that I won't be too tired the next day to exercise. I lack the courage to align my spirit with God so that I can be guilt-free. I lack the courage to figure out school so that I can have a rewarding career, actually helping other people. I lack the courage to write in my journal everyday. I lack the courage to study the scriptures. I lack the courage to be nice to my sister when I go to visit her in Boise. I lack the courage to be patient. I lack the courage to forgive. I lack the courage to not swear. I lack the courage to be active in charity work. Worst of all, I lack the courage to believe I am a Child of God, who loves me. If I could somehow find THAT courage, I think the other things would take care of themselves.

Cari, I think you are a wonderful person. There are so many people who think you are a wonderful person. I think you should delete this post and re-write it as the things that Cari is good at. If you don't, then i will. Here is a list to start you off.
1. I, Cari, go super out of my way to help those whom i work with.
2. I, Cari, am thoughtful enough to remember that someone loves Coconut cream pie and then make it for them three months later as a suprise.
3. I, Cari, am an accomplished career woman
4. I, Cari, have a talent and a gift in taking fantastic pictures. This hobby is something that i love to do and i am good at it.
5. I, Cari, look for ways to encourage and compliment those around me.
6. I, Cari, have adventures everyday because i live in the greatest land there is
7. I, Cari, will help my friends in whatever way I can even if it means driving 5 miles down a long and bumpy road to pick up three smelly indviduals.
8. I, Cari, willing share with anyone what i have. including vehicles, movies, time, attention and discount cruise tickets.
9. I, Cari, work my hardest to accomplish the tasks that are given me by a sometimes but most often misunderstanding boss.
10. I Cari, have the ability to smile, to be loved, to love, to share, to laugh and laugh a lot, because deep down, i know that life is good and full and fun and hard and sometimes sucky, and sometimes smelly, but in the end, the sun rises, and that is my favorite part of the day.
love you
I think we all feel like this--I know I do.
Beautiful snow photos--we escaped Skagway just in time, and only hit a bit of snow in British Columbia on the way out!
