The Cano Family Can Do Hard Things

I have been inspired by a story I read about an amazing group of young women and their leaders and a "hard thing" they challenged themselves to do and completed. (http://www.ldschurchnews.com/articles/60011/Latter-day-Saint-Young-Women-In-the-strength-of-the-Lord--I-can-do-hard-things.html). I decided that we as the Cano Family can "do hard things" too, and so this year our family motto is "The Cano Family Can Do Hard Things". In December we sat down and discussed some "hard things" we wanted to focus on and set goals to accomplish them. They may not be things like walking 22 miles to the Salt Lake temple, but they are things that will keep us focused on good things, on the Savior and keep us progressing as a family. We are taking one day at a time and will try not to get down on ourselves if we are not perfect at it. We just want to keep moving forward. I guess this really has been my motto for life... I can do, have done, and will continue to do hard things in my life. I know that I am not alone in doing so. I have family and friends who support me and most of all my Savior and Heavenly Father backing me up and even carrying me when it gets especially difficult. I know that God will not send me any trial that I cannot bear and overcome with His help and I am so grateful for that! So, we are excited to work on these goals that we have set and cannot wait to see how we have grown as individuals and as a family as the year goes on. I know we will be (and already have been) blessed for our efforts.
