I’m not telling you how young I am, just know I’ll never be old. However, it’s sometimes easy to think that we are who we are and that’s just all there is to us. Or we get frustrated and think, “This is not me. I do not like it. I need to find me again!”
That’s not it at all. I think we’re not supposed to find ourselves and I don’t think we’re ever stuck as who we are… we’re constantly working on defining who we are because:
So what do we do when the going gets tough and the boulders in our purse are just too heavy to carry? Well, we could throw our hands in the air and give up, or we could change our attitude. Why?
I know what it is like to look at that giant purse of boulders and think that you simply cannot go on, you’re at the end of your rope, and you are just done. I even know what it is like to want to wallow in self-pity and say, “Why didn’t it work out?” Well, guess what, you’re still alive! Therefore, it’s not the end at all.
We just need to have a little faith.
Trust me, some of my boulders are pretty darn old. I’ve tried changing purses to get rid of them. They just migrate to the new purse. The Lord’s timing is simply: Ozma, you’re supposed to keep this boulder a while longer.
So with all those boulders, it’s all right if you stumble and maybe have a bad attitude sometimes. Just try to change that attitude quickly. I stumble a lot. Darn boulders weighing me down!
I grew up dancing. Trust me, the audience will never ever know that was a stumble if you just make it part of the dance. You can do it.
And look at that. I worked in not one, but two awesome dance references. Because I’m just that awesome. Huzzah!
So put on your own rose-coloured glasses and work on your attitude. Maybe together we can help one another improve our ‘tudes and rock this world!

Thanks! I had a really hard time choosing what to post. I could have posted so many more. I might have to do another post like this in the future. 🙂
And I like being me. I’m fairly interesting and I keep people guessing. That keeps their brains working. Right?
And, fyi, I think you are pretty amazing!

I like that you’re you, too – and ‘you’ is a pretty good thing to be! You keep me guessing, too!

It is pretty good when you keep your friends guessing! Right?
And it was beyond wonderful to see you in the temple. I think that is probably the best thing in the whole world. You looked like an angel, which is fitting because I think you really are one.
And I told my friend last night about your dress idea. We cracked up. I will have to figure out how to do that. Sadly I saw the perfect fabric for it the other day…except it was all blacks. Rats. 🙂
