Grateful

I am so grateful for a loving Heavenly Father, a wonderful husband, an amazing family, awesome friends & all that I have been given. I am forever grateful for the Atonement of Jesus Christ and how He has helped to improve my life in many many ways. The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints is a wonderful church and organization that focuses on the light and good of the world & the gospel. I'm so grateful for the scriptures and for books that help us learn of good news, such as the book Believing Christ by Stephen E. Robinson... I recommend this book to anyone who hasn't read it...it is just so good and is basic so you can understand all that he is trying to get across.

I just have to say that moving to Georgia is the best decision I could have made. I'm so glad that I get to sight see on the weekends with my husband and enjoy the world, scenery, and inventions of people. I have the opportunity to be with family during the week so I am not alone, learn how to be a homemaker - sew, make homemade bread, and more :) ... I'm also able to focus on myself and replenish - getting ready for the time to come where I won't have any "me" time. ...You'd think that I'd learn by now that I NEED me time... so maybe i'll make sure to fit it in :) ... it's for everyone's well being, oh, and mine too ;)

In case you haven't noticed... I love ♥hearts♥ and polka dots and :)smiley faces:) & !exclamation marks! ...and I hope and pray I always will. I don't want that to ever go away...

People say it is all perspective. And I agree with that statement. Stephen E. Robinson says in his book: "Human beings are inevitably the arsonists of their own happiness."

If you want to be happy, you will be happy ... it might take work, but you will, eventually, be happy. If you are bitter & callous - well, you just will be one unhappy duck won't ya? I hope that we can all learn to be happy people that love and give; not necessarily give monetarily, but give our hearts and empathize with others, whether sharing feelings of sadness or joy, we can understand each other.

Anyway, I love to love, and I hope you do too :) ♥ !! ♥♥♥
