Stresses & happiness

I'm excited about this week. Even though there's things that creep up that try to make one worry, I refuse to obey the negative. I'm standing firmly, cementing my feet in the truth. By working hard, doing my best and following the commandments with exactness, I know that we shall be blessed in all things. Robdawg always jokes about my love of the "old". Old music, old movies and old people. I'm fascinated by those who've lived and experienced. I learn a lot from their lessons and I'm often inspired by the simplicity of life before microwaves. Even though the world has evolved in terms of technology and science, the fundamentals still stay true. True happiness is found in love. That no matter what life throws at you, you can endure with the support of a loving spouse. And for this I am grateful. "One of the challenges of this mortal experience is to not allow the stresses and strains of life to get the better of us—to endure the varied seasons of life while remaining positive, even optimistic." - Elder Tom Perry
