Katie's Blog: I'm Just Sayin . . .: Finally!

Quotes I Live By

“There are cycles of good and bad times, ups and downs, periods of joy and sadness, and times of plenty as well as scarcity. When our lives turn in an unanticipated and undesirable direction, sometimes we experience stress and anxiety. One of the challenges of this mortal experience is to not allow the stresses and strains of life to get the better of us—to endure the varied seasons of life while remaining positive, even optimistic. Perhaps when difficulties and challenges strike, we should have these hopeful words of Robert Browning etched in our minds: 'The best is yet to be'"--L. Tom Perry

"It isn't as bad as you sometimes think it is. It all works out. Don't worry. I say that to myself every morning. It will all work out. If you do your best, it will all work out. Put your trust in God, and move forward with faith and confidence in the future. The Lord will not forsake us. He will not forsake us . . . If we will put our trust in Him, if we will pray to Him, if we live worthy of His blessings, He will hear our prayers."
--President Gordon B. Hinckley

"God the Eternal Father did not give [the] first great commandment because He needs us to love Him. His power and glory are not diminished should we disregard, deny or even defile His name. His influence and dominion extend through time and space independent of our acceptance, approval or admiration. . . No, God does not need us to love Him. But oh, how we need to love God! . . . For what we love determines what we seek. What we seek determines what we think and do. What we think and do determines who are--and who we will become." --President Uchtdorf

Finally!

So back in March was my school's production of Fiddler on the Roof and i played Grandma Tzeitel. I already blogged about it back then, and I said that I would get a video of my part up really soon..well, I guess four months isn't really soon, but alas, i finally got it up. Probably most of you who read this have already seen it, but I figured I might as well post it since I did say I would and well cuz, I'm so amazing and I couldn't keep this hidden from the world for much longer ;-) just kidding. This isn't my favorite video of me doing it, but of the three nights I was recorded, this was the only time that the person taping was in a seat good enough to actually get my face...I definitely mess up in the middle of it, but oh well! The quality of the video isn't that great just cuz I just taped it on my camera from the TV, cuz the video camera transfer program isn't compatible with my computer (stupid Vista!). Anyways, Enjoy :)
