Happiness Can't Be Bottled Up and Kept For Another Day, But Every Day We Can Create Happiness

Today I am just plain grateful. I have been given soo much temporally and spiritually.

We had our area Stake Conference today that was seen via satellite from Salt Lake City, UT. It was a nice meeting. At one point President Monson's daughter was speaking. She was talking about smiling and being happy. A picture of President Monson came on the screen displaying a large grin. I started to think about his smile. It is simple. If I do not live righteously I deny myself the kind of happiness that brings that kind of smile.

I feel like I am just learning how to live. Really live. Living, to me, now means patiently wading through the difficult times, being able to enjoy the good times, and then look back and appreciate the difficult times.
