New Beginnings

Dear Readers,

What a weekend I had! There was simply too much for me to handle! Everything became amazing and awesome as I just couldn't stop smiling. I loved the experience I had with Get Connected so very much and I couldn't contain myself! Today is the second day of my second semester at BYU-Idaho, and I am already SOO EXCITED!!! I am at a college, and my job is to LEARN! What more could I ask for? Amazing friends? Check! Wonderful classes and amazing teachers? Check! Awesome school programs that challenge me and help me to want more out of myself? Check! Indomitable spirit and sense of hope and optimism for the next four months? SUPER CHECK! Supernal desire to learn and prepare to make the future so bright I'll have to wear my sun glasses at night? CHECK!

I'm ready to go! Spring is working on getting around, and I love the fun mystery of each day! I love my life right now and the direction I have!

I want to take another opportunity to renew my New Year's Resolutions too! I won't be forgetting them, especially a few weeks after Easter! I will remember them, I will remember those that came before me, and I will remember that I am preparing the future for my children! How amazing is that!? Every one of us is the lynch pin that holds a part of the world together! We're all the amazing little cogs in this giant clock of time! How can I even think about not doing something amazing today?! This is another chance for a better tomorrow, but I can do it today!

I know that most of my posts must start to sound the same, but it is always the same sun rising high in the sky feeling that I have in my heart when I write! I want to share this amazing new CD of awesome music feeling! I know that there are these nostalgic after high school graduation I can do anything feelings in each of us and I want everyone to remember that they can do amazing things! We are all here with this amazing opportunity! Take it today!

I challenge you to make today a new beginning for something in your life! Restart some goal that has fallen from your gaze, think a little more about how you can serve those around you, or just in general keep up your amazing pace! Are you falling behind? Sit for a second, tie your running shoes up and get going! Spring is coming (it snowed here yesterday, so it isn't quite here yet) and we have to catch it while it is around! Spring cleaning is coming in fast, so let's clean out our sad feelings, dust off the optimist hats, and throw out the trash that gathers in our minds saying 'you can't' and fill it with some of your favorite new memories that you'll make in the next few days!

YOU ARE SO AMAZING! YOU SHINE WHEN YOU SMILE!
YOU MAKE MY LIFE A BETTER ONE BY BEING YOU!
THE ALL CAPS IS SO THAT YOU PAY ATTENTION AND KNOW THAT I'M SERIOUS AND THAT THIS IS IMPORTANT--JUST LIKE YOU!!!!

Have a more excellent day and remember I love you!!!!
Doug Knuth!
