Almost...

Mother always says that "almost" only counts in horse-shoes and hand-grenades. 

Recently I watched "The Princess and the Frog" . One of my favorite songs is "Almost There". Tiana talks about being so close to fulfilling her dream. Later on she finds out that what she needs isn't the same as what she wants. She finds out what's important.

 

This morning I encountered a much sadder version of someone being "almost there".

Seminary is a place for enrichment and peace, if you let it. But it can't influence you if you miss it! To be in the parking lot, or wandering the halls, or hanging out in the bathroom are some of the worst ways to be so close and not be willing to make the commitment to go all the way. To see people that you know and love give up is depressing. Just being in the room is a better opportunity to feel peace in a small way. This is what you need, and it will help you find out what's important in your life. That's the only way you can eventually fulfill your dream, by doing what you need to do.

Lately I've noticed how amazing some people are, like suddenly I understand how much they do and I'm so proud of them. Today it was the opposite.

I blog infrequently. But sometimes I have something that I need to say that can't be said out loud. They will never read this, and they will never know that they're who I'm talking about. Which is good because I just want to forget it, but I can only do that if they start acting differently, and I'm not sure when or if they will. I hope none of you will be to stubborn to go all the way there, I hope you won't have to say "Almost".
