I think that someone out there is trying to teach me a lesson. It seems strange to me that everytime I start feeling stressed out about my life, something happens to remind me that I need to alter my view slightly. Thank goodness I have some good examples to help me realize that, even when I'm stressed out, I should still try and smile!

I don't know how many people heard, but I did get a few quesitons afterward...In september, my little brother was in a...well...let's just call it a "bonfire accident" and leave it at that...Having sustained second and third degree burns on his arms and legs, he was taken to BLANKETY BLANK Hospital in Salt Lake City. He recovered faster than I thought possible. And, after staying at the hospital for a few days, he was sent home to tend to his burns himself. Hence the pictures below (stolen from my mother's blog):
What amazes me is that, throughout this whole ordeal, he was still the same old positive, upbeat, obnoxious JB that he's always been. It made me realize that, Yeah, life can stink sometimes, but you've still got to try and get through it with the best attitude possible.
So...this is my goal for 2010:
I am going to try and look at all of my obstacles and trials as blessings--something sent to me to make me a better person. And, no matter what is thrown my way, I'm going to try and remain positive and upbeat (and maybe even a little obnoxious)!
HAPPY NEW YEAR!

Lacy,
This is mom...(on Jade's laptop). I will tell JB to read your sweet message about him. I know you are an inspiration to all your siblings and to me too. We think you are wonderful. I think that is such a good goal for us all. Why do we always need to be reminded?
Love You, Sweetie,
Mom
