Getting a little talking to from somebody

As I stated before I have had a rough time recently with some of the things going on. I find myself constantly thinking about what is going to happen. I have always let my future stress me out and worried about things that haven't happened yet. I don't know why I do it, but I have really been doing it a lot recently. Family, friends, church leaders you name it have all told me to stop, take a breather, and smile. However I haven't been able to quite do that. Well today was an eye opener because I just felt like I was getting told that I have got to stop. While reading my scriptures I came across Matthew 6:34 which says, "Take therefore no thought for the morrow: for the morrow shal take thought for the things of itself. Sufficient unto the day is the evil thereof." In otherwords Jessica stop stressing out over what hasn't happened yet and start living each day to its fullest and doing what you are supposed to do. I have got to learn that me worrying over tomorrow won't change what will happen. I can only slightly control what happens today.

I have also had this mindset that I am going to just work and work and that is all I need to do. No fun and games and just focus on the things that I need to get done. At dinner tonight i was looking at a scrapbooking magazine that Aunt Katie had on her table. I came across a quote that said, "Always leave room in your life to do something that makes you happy, satisfied, or even joyous.--Paul Hawken"

Well I guess I know what I need to work on. Haha!
