Day TWO

I finally have everything unpacked and organized! Well, mostly organized; I would like to organize my book shelves a little different than I already have them. I also did some deep cleaning because the people that had my room and bathroom before left a mess. While I was working today I listened to music nonstop either from Pandora Internet Radio or from my ipod. It was interesting to notice how I felt while listening to each song. I realized how much music affects my attitude a behavior in a different way by paying attention to how I felt rather than focusing on the fun-ness and catchy beat. I think I need to be more careful about what I listen to. I also need to whip my ipod into shape!

I went to the Provo Temple this morning. I made a goal to go once a week this year since I live so close to two temples. I did go home for six weeks this summer so the temple was not as close, but my parents made a special effort to take me to one. In fact, as a family we visited the Vernal, Utah temple. Anyway, I have made my goal almost every week so far! I think I might have been taking the opportunity for granted earlier this spring and summer. I realized this when I was home in Price when I had to make more of an effort to go. I think I would like to revamp my goal to attend the temple once a week with purpose, reverence, and an open heart. What a blessing it is that I can go so often! I want to make the most of it. I want to go for the right reasons, not just to check of a weekly task.
