The New Beginning

"It is family that keeps us moving forward each day, Reaching for what we all know we can accomplish"- Thought of the day.


Yesterday at church I had a real smack back into reality. I was taught so much through out the day that I realized that there needs to be a change in my life. I see now that in my life I have just taken each day as it is, and not living it to it's fullest. I give up too easily, and never really commit myself to the most important matters in life.
So last night I decided to head to bed early, after being exhausted from my spiritual feast. I went to bed at 8pm. Which is extremely odd for me since I am a night owl that loves to stay up past the midnight hours of 2 sometimes 3 o'clock in the A.M, A.M. :P I know it must be the college kid in me. Even though I am a college graduate, that does not mean I don't still party :) So Since I went to bed so early, without realizing that it was so early in the evening, I awoke around 2 in the morning. I woke up amazed that I was so exhausted, and seeing that I had just slept for 6 hours. What a Sunday nap! I tried to go back to sleep, to get a full 8 hours of sleep, but my body was so awake, that I just ended up laying there for an hour, and annoying my cat who was trying to sleep. lol So I got up, and did some work on the computer, had some breakfast ( today is the start of my new diet). Then I went to the gym for 2 hours, and commited myself to push to the limit of each exercise that I had to do. I would not give up. Then I came home and showered, and now have time to write these great thoughts and updates with those whom I love.
I am amazed that with these small choices I have made today, I have been able to see so much more in this beautiful day, where before I wouldn't have seen, because of over sleeping.
So I want you to all know, that this is my new beginning. I am going to try to "Raise my Bar", and do so much more each day. To show myself, and my Savior what I can accomplish. :)
I hope you all make today the best day ever!
Love, Kari Berry :p

Look my internet is back! And I actually visited your blog. I LOVE your backdrop. I hope your new ambition for life is still working for you. Sometimes we get so excited about something and it only takes a couple days and one hurdle to make us give up. I hope you're still pushing. Love you-Sara
