2 Nephi 2:25 - "Adam fell that men might be, men are that they might have joy."
Joy is not elusive, not in the slightest. My friend and I have started a wellness program, of sorts. Once a week we plan out what we are going to do, in a general sense ( it is very open as life sometimes gets in the way). Here is ours.
3 goals a week: these should be something I have been wanting to do but have not found the time.
1 hour of something new: this can just be something different, and it needs to happen every day.
20 minutes of scripture study, meditation, and exercise.
3 conscience random acts of kindness: every day
1 positive journaling experience
1 note to someone thanking or praising them.
I have done all of these things in the past without realizing I was doing them, and it makes me so proud to realize with hindsight that I have been pursuing the same course for so long.My God is wonderful, he has blessed me with this knowledge and the ability to see the silver lining on the storm clouds of the hurricane that has surrounded me and my family. He has given me some perspective. No matter what happens today, in 10 hours it will be time for dinner, in 14 hours time for bed and tomorrow at 6 I'll wake up tomorrow knowing I did my best today and I can do my best tomorrow.
You can only make a mistake once, the second time it is a choice.
Choose to be happy.
Find joy in the journey.
Oh yeah!
Joe and I finished Percy Jackson and the Lightning Thief last night!
On to Sea of Monsters!
Goal: to finish before the movie comes out!
