HAPPY THANKSGIVING!!!

HAPPY THANKSGIVING! What a wonderful time to be able to take a second from the "rat race" and to ponder on what is most important in our lives. And what is always most important, is the people around us. We should be remembering these times every day of our lives, but our check lists and daily tasks seem to consume our lives and push out those that are most important. It's great that we have these holidays because it's a national reminder for those who have forgotten.

I gave a lesson this month on a talk given by Elder Uchtdorf during the General Relief Society Conference on Happiness. We need to remember, day in and day out, that we only have one opportunity here on earth and that we need to find HAPPINESS. We all have struggles in our lives, that's a given. But how we choose to act because of what we know, will make all the difference. We can choose to dwell on the negative or choose to dwell on the positive and turn it into a learning experience.

As I have gotten older this earthly experience seems to be getting shorter and shorter. I know I am still relativly young, but I can remember when I was little, and one whole day seemed like forever. I was always looking forward to the next day or the weekend and so on. Now, my days seem to pass me by in minutes. Let's try not to forget TODAY and make TODAY last forever. Learn to enjoy all good things. This month has been a forgetful month, let's make next month better! I love you Jon, Rylee and Brody!
