There have been times that I come home from work or other places, exhausted, frustrated, and uneasy. I have always been a home body and love the comfort I get when inside. When I was preparing to move out when I got married I dreamed of decorating my own place, of hanging my own pictures, of designing the way my furniture was set up.
Since I have been married almost one year, I never realized that I have one wall in particular I love to look at. It is in my bedroom, the wall opposite of where our bed sits. I see this wall as I wake up, go to sleep, start and end my day. It's not that big of a deal, and it's actually quite bare, but there are 3 things on there that I love.
The first thing is a picture of my husband and I (one that I put together with the lyrics to our first dance), on our wedding day, dancing to our song, "Breathe" by Angels and Airwaves. This picture brings back the giddy feeling of being in a room full of people and the only person I had any knowledge of being there was my husband. We laughed and talked about the night to come and what our future would hold. It reminds me that no matter what that I share this with my favorite human, "On this day I love you, you make me alive, and I'll love you until the end of time!" I am loved.
The middle item is a simple picture that I made with 3 arrows. It reminds me that everyday I have so many choices to make and to not be discouraged by that. It reminds me to be me and to choose to live a life where people can look up to me. It also reminds me that we all come from different backgrounds, we make different choices, and are all in different spots in our lives. Seeing these arrows all of the time helps me to get down on my knees before bed and thank Heavenly Father for all of the blessings and opportunities that have come from near and far places. It reminds me that I am wonderful and through my personal self mastery I can do great things. (See Ether 12:27)
The last item is a simple "S". This reminds me of my last name and what adventures I have to look forward to now being a Shiveley. Being a Shiveley has brought so many blessings into my life. I never knew that I would be so blessed to have such a great last name.
So although this wall is simple and the pictures are not straight, it brings me so much happiness every time I look at it.
