always the little things

My life isn't perfect :)
i may not be right where i want to be.
but by little steps, i can make it there.

Lately, i have been up and down.
struggling with my new circumstances.
but because of a little email, i was reminded,
i can make it through this.
i am a good person.
i am noticed.
i am thought about.

isn't it amazing that this sweet girl,
i never hung out with.
we just saw each other at school.
and emailed a time or two.
but by following a little prompting of the Spirit,
she was able to help someone make it through a tough time?


Tonight, i went to visit a dear friend and her newborn baby.
isn't it amazing that something so little
could have all those beautiful complexities?
little eyelids that can flutter.
a little nose that can scrunch.
little fingers and toes that can wiggle.
a little heart that can pump blood to their entire little body.
a little diaphragm that continuously contracts/relaxes 
allowing the flow of oxygen.
tiny little action potentials traveling through..
tiny little axons across..
tiny little synapses all the way up their..
tiny little spine..
..all of the details that make these complex 
-but seemingly so little- 
things possible.


it seems to me, 
that the beauty of life
lies within the little things 
:)

begin.

The past few weeks, but especially this week, 
has been the start of a lot of new things for me. 
I feel like i'm beginning a new, important chapter in my life.  
I am learning so much about myself and the people around me.  
I have fallen in love with life, basically. 
I absolutely adore my roommates.
I am loving life at Dixie.
I am finally enjoying Physiology.
I cannot believe how incredible the human body is.
yeah.. I know. I'm so silly, but I can't help it! 
..I just have a whole new appreciation for ..well..
E V E R Y T H I N G.
I recognize the tender mercies in my life,
and I am so grateful.
Thank you Haylie for getting me to start this blog!
I am excited for us "comment queens" to document the many
adventures of the girls in apt. #9 :)
..girls, I just finished up day two!
You know what that means!

Welcome to the life of Madi <3
