A year of Facebook Status.....It Changes Everything!

I decided to write down my statuses from this past year.  I had to shorten it by almost half, but realized just how much a persons' status reflects their life.  I hope you enjoy.  It's fun to read them all put together.  Try it!  I'll give you an idea of what your year has been like.

In 2011, may we greet each stranger with a smile and make them our friend. May we look to the future with hope and determination and reminisce the past as a bright dream. May we love those around us a little more, laugh a little more, serve a little more, forgive a little more and WE will make a difference in the world. Here’s wishing you more happiness than my words can tell. HAPPY NEW YEAR TO ALL! I LOVE Life....everything about it. The growth, the challenges, the joy, the pain...I love it ALL!! Merry Christmas to all! I am reminded of the true meaning of this beautiful season as I reflect on the life of our Savior and His birth. May God watch over you and your loved ones as you seek to do His work and His will! It's not what we receive that enriches our lives....it’s what we give. What you say about someone else doesn't define who they are....it defines who you are! Life is too precious and too short to sweat the small stuff! Live each day like it's your last. Forgive easier, love longer, and serve with ALL your heart!! ‎If you chance to meet a frown, do not let it stay. Quickly turn it upside down and smile that frown away. No one likes a frowny face, change it for a smile. Make the world a better place by smiling all the while.


Wherever you go, no matter what the weather, always bring your own sunshine. We are each responsible for all our experiences. Every thought we think is creating our future. Everyone suffers from self-hatred and guilt. The bottom line for everyone is "I'm not good enough." It's only a thought and thoughts can be changed. We must release the past and forgive everyone and ♥ ourselves. When we REALLY love ourselves, everything in our life works! The ultimate measure of a man is not where he stands in moments of comfort and convenience, but where he stands at times of challenge and controversy. Striving for success without hard work is like trying to harvest where you haven't planted. The only disability in life is a bad attitude. Desire is the key to motivation, but it's determination and commitment to an unrelenting pursuit of your goal - a commitment to excellence - that will enable you to attain the success you seek. Our lives are not determined by what happens to us, but how we react to what happens; not by what life brings us, but by the attitude we bring to life. A positive attitude causes a chain reaction of positive thoughts, events and outcomes. It is a catalyst a spark that creates extraordinary results. Adversity, if properly nurtured, will bloom the most beautiful of flowers! Happiness is an attitude. We either make ourselves miserable, or happy and strong. The amount of work is the same. My one birthday wish would be to have wings and fly. I would fly to each one of you and give you a big hug for such sweet birthday wishes. Thank you all for your kind words. Love you all! St. George Marathon, Family, Friends, Conference, Memories, Laughing till you cry.....Does life get any better????

Happiness does not come by pressing a button, as does the electric light; happiness is a state of mind and comes from within. It must be earned. It cannot be purchased with money; it cannot be taken for nothing. Live, Laugh, and Love...there's no better use for the letter "L"!! On this special day of remembrance, let us remember those whose lives were shortened and their families that were left behind. Let us celebrate our freedoms and love a little more, hug a little longer, look at someone with a smile and kind heart. Let us forgive a little easier and laugh a little quicker. Let us be the very person the freedom’s of this country stands for. GOD BLESS AMERICA! Oh what a beautiful morning...Oh what a beautiful day! I've got a wonderful feeling, Everything's going my way! :>)

From EFY to Cedar Badge to Scout Camp to Girls Camp to Lava Hot Springs to Family Reunions to River Rafting to Jensens Grove...our summer was packed full of fun and memories. What a wonderful way to start off the new school year! Can anyone remind me how to get gum out of clothing? Thanks a bunch!!

Twas the night before the first day of school and all through the house, the Jolley children were puking, and making tons of sounds. Their father is away for a week long business trip while their mother cleaned up lots of messes and boy it wasn't a hit!! When you change the way you look at things, the things you look at change.

The difference between CAN and CANNOT are only three letters. Three letters that determine your life's direction. Positive and negative are directions. Which direction do you choose?
