37: A few things.

First order of business: It has occurred to me that I need to expand my process here a little bit. I feel that by finding things to be happy about each day, I am still focusing a little too much inward. I was watching some Mormon Messages on YouTube yesterday. This has become my new favorite thing and it is a great way to touch base with the Spirit throughout the day.



Anyway, this video stood out to me yesterday. Take a minute (and a half) and watch it.



As I listened to President Eyring's words as he talked about keeping a short record of each day for his kids, I thought that is kind of what I'm trying to do. Then he said before writing he would ponder the question "Have I seen the Hand of God reaching out to touch us?" And I was struck!



That, I believe, is the key to finding happiness. True happiness. I can find small, silly things to be happy about each day, and that is fine and fun, but I won't find true happiness and peace until I seek it through the Lord. So, I have put some thought into it. I think I need to expand and express gratitude for each day, seeking the Hand of God reaching out to touch me. I will still find small and/or silly things to be happy about as well to simply keep myself well rounded. =)



So, there you go.



Today, obviously, I am grateful to have been guided to that insight and to have found a way to look beyond myself and show Heavenly Father my love for him.



What has made me happy today? Several things.

As I was trying to think of which thing to write about, my loving husband just laid down on the couch and rested his head on my arm. I love him so. He brings me happiness and peace. I'm so glad I have him.
