Sweet, tender mercies

Happy belated Labor Day! Hope everybody had a fabulous holiday and ended summer with a bang! What did I do? I went home of course! There's so many exciting things about going home-first it's the drive. I love driving down into the mountain on a sunny day just cruising and jamming. My parents got done with the wear and tear of construction in the basement and it looks AMAZING! I helped with the painting but they are just troopers for getting all that work done in such a small amount of time. So this is a shout out to my momsee and dadsee; after all the time and effort you put into work you have yet to put more in at home! You guys are incredible! Love you!
Jord, Chey and baby Porter were down as well as Ty and Chynna living in Price now! So glad to see them and visit everyone. I brought my massage table down and boy did they keep me busy! If you guys are reading this I am so glad to work on you and I plan to work on you more...if I didn't get to you, hold you're horses....I will be there! But overall it was a good yet again genuine time with the family and season. 
As I was getting ready to go home that night the weather started to turn and a thunder/rain storm stirred price! I decided to stay home, go with the spirit and drive up in the morning (which quite honestly I didn't want to do-getting up at 5 then making it to my first day at work at 8! Yikes!) But I am grateful I did-Ty and my mom told me later today that a mudslide hit the mountain and caused back-up traffic till 2 am. But since I left in the morning I got home so safe and the drive was smooth. Can I get a hallelujah for tender mercies? Thank you Heavenly Father! 
Speaking of the drive up here this morning it was surprisingly beautiful to wake up at 5 am and inhale the crisp mountain air and embrace the vivid desert sunrise! Such an amazing time to think and ponder on the way up here....and to feel the spirit touch me and remind me what a beautiful place earth is. After today I have made it a goal to go to bed early so I can wake up early to feel that refreshed feeling again...loved it!

Today is the first day I started at Nu Skin and I know you've heard this enough but I am so excited for this job! I can see myself progressing and working here for a while, which is a good sign compared to the other feelings I've had in the past with other jobs. Not bashing on them in any way I just know this job will lead to something that will help me in some way. Clear as mud right? I know, bare with me!

So, I've just been curious about what goes on in the morning that has been profound or just moments that made your day so much better. Share with me what you felt and what you did, because I would love to hear from you, whoever is reading! :) Feel free to share, I would love to get some tips and inspiration from you wonderful people! 

It's 9:47 and the nap I took today is starting to wear off...I think. So that's goodnight for this precious peach! 
Love always, lyss

 In my life I've seen people shutter from jumping and also people gladly jumping into taking risks. Wherever you jump, just know you have a Heavenly Father who is holding out His hand and supporting you. Jump high, you'll land where you're supposed to when you're supposed to.
