Lately I've felt this intense desire to create and design; to make something beautiful that wasn't there before. I want to feel productive and helpful and satisfied that I am somehow making good use of my time and talents. One of my favorite talks ever was by Dieter F. Uchtdorf entitled, "Happiness, Your Heritage." He says:
"The desire to create is one of the deepest yearnings of the human soul. No matter our talents, education, backgrounds, or abilities, we each have an inherent wish to create something that did not exist before. Everyone can create. You don’t need money, position, or influence in order to create something of substance or beauty. Creation brings deep satisfaction and fulfillment. We develop ourselves and others when we take unorganized matter into our hands and mold it into something of beauty...The more you trust and rely upon the Spirit, the greater your capacity to create. That is your opportunity in this life and your destiny in the life to come. Sisters, trust and rely on the Spirit. As you take the normal opportunities of your daily life and create something of beauty and helpfulness, you improve not only the world around you but also the world within you."
So I'm going to try and make an effort of journaling the things that make me happy...the things that pass the time and bring me joy.
Today I'll go ahead and share a photo I took of the San Antonio temple. I know it might not be super amazing or ground breaking, but I love it.

LOVE it. Creating stuff is awesome. And I think we have pinterest to thank for the recent upsurge of creative energy:) Also, you really have an eye for capturing the temple- that picture really is great.
