Today in Relief Society we discussed Thomas S Monson's talk, FINDING JOY IN THE JOURNEY. One thought that has frequented my mind over the past month is enjoying the NOW. If I'm not happy now, I won't be happy later. It doesn't work that way. Happiness and joy are found internally...not to be confused with the external influences that bring superficial comfort that frequently substitutes itself for pure happiness and joy. In light of that thought...these are a few things that helped me have a good day today.
-a new skirt
-multigrain saltines
-the smell of fresh cilantro
-my nephew's smile
-chatting with my grandmother
-pure testimony
-good music
-musical clips
-taking notes
-the basics: faith, repentance, baptism, the Holy Ghost, enduring to the end, etc
Really, "men are that they might have joy." It is a gift for all of us, if we are willing to search for it. I'm ready for the treasure hunt of a lifetime.
