Warning:weird post ahead, proceed at your own risk

Hello Everybody,
I finally decided that I missed blogging enough to do it, even though it means I will get behind on my homework again. Oh well, you can't win them all. Lately I've been thinking about priorities. I realized that I was letting the really important things slide by in order to finish the things with a deadline. A couple of weeks ago, my brother (age 5) came up to me and asked if I would play cars with him. Now my brother is kind of a loner so I was suprised by his offer, but I had a paper due the next day so I declined his offer. Over the next week he came to me several times to ask if I would play with him. Finally it got through to me that spending time with my little brother, who was not always going to come to me, was way more important than getting my paper in on time. Same with praying, reading my scriptures, helping mom around the house. I realized that I was trying to do so much that I was doing nothing well, plus I was forgetting all the things that mattered to me, Anya, as a person and as a child of God.
Anyway, I know that I have to give up something but I don't know what yet. Right know I'm going through a really big self evaluating period. Oh well, at least I know what is wrong with my life, now I need God's help to fix it. Don't get me wrong, I am way happy with what I am doing, I am just pushing myself to far, but I have begun changing.
You know the great things about blogs? It's like a journal, only sometimes it gives you encouragement and prays for you.
Sorry my post was so out there, but I've had ideas floatin in my head for weeks and it does me good to spill.
Btw, I have to write a paper on a wise, real person that has a book written about them, but I haven't come up with anyone yet, so if you have any ideas, I'd love to hear them.
Thanks for bearing with me,
Anya
