Happiness is YOUR Decision.

[ October 6th, 2012]
"If we fail to give our best, personal and undivided time 
to those who are truly important to us, one day we will regret it."
-Dieter F. Uchtdorf


Our family is GROWING!!
We have gone from being six...
to being eight.

Family pictures were this past weekend.
They will be up as soon as we receive them.

Also:
General Conference

How great is it to enjoy spiritual direction 
from our beloved Prophets and Church Leaders??
I, myself, found myself nodding at such
divine messages.
If only General Conference were to happen every week!
can you just imagine that??

I had multiple messages that touched my soul deeply.
Among them was Elder Uchtdorf's.
 
regret.
It's a mere six letter word, I know.
But holds the ability to sadden our hearts.
We're not perfect.
Heavenly Father knows that.
Which is why he's given us such a wonderful gift. 
I'm oh so thankful for the Atonement.
It gives us the opportunity to cleanse ourselves from our mistakes.
Whether their major or minor.  

Let us make decisions today,
that will allow us to progress tomorrow.
We hold the power to decide whether
we want to be happy or not.
Happiness is not found in money, or other materials.
Happiness is found in enjoying,
what we have.
what we are.
where we are.
and
who we are with.
YOU make the choice.
 
Don't get caught up in a world,
where nothing really matters.
instead
Get lost in the moments you spend,
with the people that matter the most.
