Two Days in One Post

This post will cover both today and yesterday, as I thought my bed looked more appealing than my computer when I went to bed at 2:30 this morning.

Yesterday for my Savior, I went with two of my friends to see the play that my visiting teachee stars in. I tried to focus on supporting the friends that I watched it with; they are both fantastic people that have had some pretty hard things to deal with, and I haven't been the greatest friend lately because I've been going through hard things too. But for that night, instead of focusing on working through my own problems, I tried to just enjoy the company of friends and support them by paying attention. It was good! I still have a lot to work on when it comes to being a good friend as well as take care of myself, but I'm sure that with Christ's help, I'll get there.

Today, I made dessert with a friend. She is one of those roommates that I hope to be friends with for a long time to come, and despite the fact that she's wonderfully married and I'm woefully single, we got along like old times. We've had similar trials this semester, so it was nice to talk with a kindred spirit. I think that our conversation was good for both of us; I know for sure that it was good for me.

I realized today that I need to focus more clinically on self-improvement in my thoughts. I can make more progress if I focus on it more. I've been focusing on things that I need to do, which is good, but I also want to focus more on what I need to be. Hopefully, I'll be able to make this change in my thinking!
