All day I've been thinking about what to post. What mood was I feeling, what was I experiencing? Actually it didn't take long for me to zero in on "annoyance". And so in my head I listed all the things that were annoying to me on this Monday. Tonight I sat down to share my list of annoyances with the world, but first I visited a friends blog. She had created her own kind of list, and by the end of it I had turned a full 180. I didn't want to be annoyed, think about annoying things, or write about annoyances. I don't want to be that person. I want to be happy, and grateful, and a joy to be around (both in blog world and the real world).
What am I grateful for today? Friends that make me want to be a better person. And change. I am so thankful that after a day of negative thinking I can still change in time to end on a good note! No matter what did, or didn't, get done today I feel so much more victorious now!
One of my favorite quotes is from President James E. Faust and I will share it with you.
"Each new day that dawns can be a new day for us to begin to change. We can change our environment. We can change our lives by substituting new habits for old. We can mold our character and future by purer thoughts and nobler actions. As someone once put it, “The possibility of change is always there, with its hidden promise of peace, happiness, and a better way of life.”"
