Close Up

I have decided that this is my year of growth and learning. I am trying to expand my boundaries. This growth is spiritually, physically, and knowledge based.

I am forced to spiritually grow with my calling in the young women's presidency. Currently we are all reading the Book of Mormon by the end of summer. It is good for me to do a "quick read" because the stories are making more sense.

I have definitely grown physically. I have been going to the YMCA to either run or go to classes. I actually love the classes even though I was unsure at first. I have also been studying a lot about nutrition and have learned a ton! I have been able to implement some of these good practices into my life. I still love my sweets, but I am learning to eat it in moderation. I still need to work on cooking. I just need to find a way to enjoy it.

I am trying to develop my talents as well. This year I have learned how to sew...kind of...simple sewing I guess. I am also relearning how to ride a bike. I bike to the gym, church and friends houses. The most recent talent I am developing is crocheting. My friend Sheri has been teaching me. I decided to make a blanket so I went over today for her to help me. It is taking me forever, but it will be fun to see the end result. (I will have a hard time giving it away, but that is why I am making it)

Since crocheting is the most recent endeavor, that is why I chose today's topic "close up" to show proof I am doing it.
