Definitely been a while since I have last posted a blog here. I know my fans have missed my wise words and delightful insight .

The topic that I am going to talk about today isBeing a Season of change and of Festivities (even though its a bit late), I have seen lately alot of things and people who are sad and I guess "lost" to some degree. Especially at this time of the year, troubles do tend to pop out and make things hard for people. Whether it be money problems, family issues or just the day to day troubles.

 I hope that you may find comfort or help in the following 2 cents worth.

 Someone once told me, that when you are down, that is when you should shine the most. A riddle is what first came to mind, but funnily enough, has been firmly imprinted in my mind as I always think of it. To anyone that may be experiencing troubles, sadness, anyone who is lost, know that there is always help and that things do get better. Don't let the troubles of today or yesterday become the same troubles of tomorrow. Life will pass you by too quickly. Always look forward to life. It is good if you want it to be good.

 The following quote I use quite often to emphasis my point. I definitely overuse it

"Two men look through the self same bars,

One sees the mud

The other the stars"

 

Always continue to look to the stars. Therein lies your hope!

The question I pose to you all is, What is your definition of Friendship? A really great friend of mine put it this way,

Friendship means that a person you call a friend is loyal and trustworthy. You can trust a true friend with your life, your deepest secrets, and all that you have. A friend can listen without judging. They forgive, even when you don't understand why. You can depend on a friend for almost anything. A friend stands beside you, not in front or behind you, but beside you to support you and help you when you need it.

I also believe that to have true friends you have to be in. You cannot take and never give back and truly have a friendship with someone. Being friends means giving and receiving on both sides. That may not always be equal, and usually is not always equal, but it is not all one sided either.

In a world where we are constantly tested, it is Friendship that keeps you going. Without it, I'm sure that a lot of us wouldn't be where we are today. May we always be grateful for our relationships with our friends because it is they that carry you when you are down.

"Friendship is the only cement that will ever hold the world together"- Woodrow Wilson

A Legacy is defined as something handed down from an ancestor or a predecessor or from the past.
"What you leave behind is not what is engraved in stone monuments, but what is woven into the lives of others."
I have often wondered about the word Legacy and what it means? what type of a legacy have people left? and most of all, what type of one I will leave behind?

All throughout history, we have seen great men and women leave a legacy of all types and have all contributed to make the world as it is today. A legacy of peace. A legacy of compassion. A legacy of Love in some cases. The most important Legacy for all of us as members, is the Legacy left by our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ and the Prophet Joseph Smith. What a place this world and the worlds after this, be like if it weren't for them.

The question I put to you is, What kind of a Legacy would you like to leave?

This is my first bloggy here after like 2 years being here
