I delight in what I do.

In case you can't tell...that's Ariel (the Little Mermaid) pumpkinized! Cool huh! The picture however has nothing to do with the post. I have an exam this afternoon but my mind keeps racing through the entertaining things I heard this morning at my clinical site.

For example:

"There's a zebra in my ear."

Me: "Oh really? What's in the other ear?'

"Probably a giraffe."

Kid leaving room of 3 adults, turns around, waves and says, "See ya later guys!"

"I need a leaf for this pocket, and one for this pocket."

"I need more pictures of my ears."

Maybe these aren't nearly as cute to you as they are to me.

Other quotes from previous weeks include:

(I show a picture of what is supposed to be a judge however it has a crazy resemblance to President Monson.) Me: "What's this a picture of?"

Kid: "The prophet"

Me: "No..."

Kid: "Oh I mean President Monson"

Me: "No...(cut off again)"

Kid: "Oh, its a bishop!"

Me: "Who is this?"

Kid: "Santa"

Me: "You're right, his whole name is Santa..."

Kid: "Ana"

Me: "Okay, or Santa Claus???"

Kid: "Huh?"

I don't know why it is that what I get to do makes me so stinking happy? I recently listened to Steve Job's graduation address at Stanford. I was impressed. About 5 minutes in (and one day I'll post more about it) he mentioned something to the effect of always making sure you're loving what you do. He mentioned the value in looking back (a principle I'm not entirely a fan of...more on that later) to see how all the twists, turns, disappointments and rejections help us reach the 'best place' in the end and how doors are sometimes doors to greater things can only be opened after 'great looking doors' are closed.

I've been thinking a lot lately about the value of a soul. What matters most to my Father in Heaven. What is he most concerned about? I daresay that his concerns and my concerns are not as inline as they should be. And so, this is my quandary as of late, this is what you will be hearing about from me for the next while. What should my priorities be? What is most important in the eternal scheme of things and am I setting my focus on those things? Regardless of circumstance, I feel some principles and doctrines are probably 'the best' things to focus on to become something great.
