Embracing Happiness

I highly recommend this girl's story of choosing self-esteem and happiness, and finding out how much happiness she could give to the person she loved the most. That's exactly what I want to do with my life. Use all the energy I put into ruining my own day into MAKING my own day! And yours.

Aunt Diane

Hi Aunt Diane!!!

I can't spring for a flight for you right now, gotta save up for a while, but in the meantime, I decided we should "e-hang out." Cool? Cool. Here is a small video of us, e-hanging-out, sorry I do all the talking. :) I love you Auntie Di. You are beautiful, sassy, fun, faithful, sweet, and smart. Thanks for always being there for me, I have always felt that, in a real way.

Love,
Lindsey

PS Here's an approximate transcript, because I know I'm a mumbler:

The Day after General Conference, which I bet you watched, and I bet you loved.

If we were hanging out, I would tell you that I love you, and that (shh) you’re one of my favorite aunts! Because you’re funny, and you’re nice, and you give good hugs! And you’re sassy! And you like listening to your niece. And all your nieces and nephews. And you have faith, and you raised good kids, and you sing really well, and you taught THEM to sing really well, and they love all of that and they love you.

My favorite memory of you: going to your old split level house, maybe you still live in that house? I think you do. Anyways, we went to that house, (don’t worry, that’s my phone, ignore that) and we were watching some version of Phantom of the Opera- NO! We were watching Les Mis! And you were just singing and singing and you were like, “Everybody!” And all of your boys knew all the words, and it was so funny to watch them all sing, and I knew that that was totally because of you, that they knew how to sing that.

So, I think you’re great, and I’ll see you at Christmas, and I love you. Keep carrying on, you are a wonderful woman, and I’m glad we’we could hang out today, me and you, in my messy room. Ok. And I’ll see you soon! Love you! Bye!
