I will never forget.

As I sit here and think about what happened 9 years ago, today, I reflect on this; the gift of life that I have.

How am I living my life?

Am I living life to the fullest?

Am I becoming the kind of person I want to be? The kind of person my Heavenly Father wants me to be?

Or am I distracted? By food? By my weight? Am I so distracted that it interferes with other parts of my life?

I think about how I am showing my gratitude to Heavenly Father for the life I have. How am I living my life to show him I love him? How am I treating this gift that is my body? Am I taking care of it and using it for the most good I can? Am I treating it like the temple it is?

On this day of remembrance, I chose to live my life. I chose to rely on God to help me overcome my 'distractions.' I do not want to be taken away from the beautiful life I have because of them
