little blue book

a few years ago i came upon this little blue book. it has little rocks on the front, and a very simple pattern on it. on the very first page inside it, in my mom's handwriting was this quote:

"at best we should try to help others, and if we cannot help them, at least we should do them no harm." -Dalai Lama

i'm kind-of a quote-a-holic, and this is one of my favorites. i decided that i was gonna turn that little blue book into my inspiration journal. it is now my favorite thing to write in. it's where i wrote my conference and young woman's broadcast notes. i've written stories and scriptures, attached notes and thoughts of gratitude, so many countless things that made the book special unique. who knew that just a little blue book would be loved so much by a teenager?

its kinda my 'stay happy' book. whenever i'm sad, i'll look at this book. it helps me remember that this small point in time won't matter in my future, and i should make the most of my time by being uplifting and happy.

the book also has a few of my favorite movie quotes. i'm pretty sure my all-time favorite movie quote was said by joey in 'friends', "you don't own a tv? whats all your furniture pointed at?" he is so funny and ignorant, it just kills me :)

i even have a few pages dedicated to shakespeare, and the poem i memorized.

i have a few pages that are dedicated to certain people in my life, they have given me so much and i can never thank them enough :) their are only a few people who have do that, and i love them so very much.

my favorite part about this book is the recipe at the end. it's my favorite food in the entire world, and everytime i eat it i become very blissful and happy inside :)

i'm very happy that i stumbled on this little blue book a few years back, its become my prized possession :) just thought i'd share my piece of heaven with a few others :)
