Time to think

So I got this new job! Nothing TOO exciting. Today was my fourth day (but who's counting?). The first three days I did nothing but cut dots all day. Oh, maybe I should tell you where I work before I start telling you :) haha I work at Severtson Corp which is a theater screen making company. Cool huh? You know those big screens that are hanging up in the IMAX theaters? Ya... I make those :D But anyhow.... So the first three days (24 hours) I cut dots in half and today I got to work the machines... Which I am still debating which one I prefer to do. Well I have a great team that I work with. Shannen (the manager), Justine, Tialene, Grace and Kelcie. Now Kelcie and I got to talk for two and a half hours on my first day, so we learned a lot about each other. She is related to Andrew and Tim. I had a lot of fun talking with her.
Working and cutting dots all day long in a warehouse that doesn't have any music (except for today) it gives you a lot of time to think. Lately I have been thinking of the one and only Von.... Especially today. I miss him so much. I haven't heard from him in a few weeks either. I'm not sure if he got my last letter because I sent it to the mission home instead of him... Which I'm not sure if that would take longer... But I didn't think it would take this long. I check the mailbox everyday hoping to get a letter from him. You see we were best friends for a good three years before he left on his mission. Those were amazing three years. Some of my fondest memories are from those three years. I love him and I miss my best friend a lot.
The first day I thought a lot about the gospel and I don't know why but I was humming hymns to myself a lot. I think this job is going to be great as long as I keep this time of thinking in check. Only positive thoughts!! I can do this! I am SO excited for this job!! :D
Stop and think, you always don't have to be listening to music, or playing on the computer. Just stop and think and listen... My favorite time to think is under the stars.... but living in the city you can't really see them. But when I am under a blanket of stars (and one of wool) I love to just sit and ponder about life, about now, the future and lessons of the past. Let those you love know you love them before its too late. Actions speech louder than words!
Have a great night :)
