Got an email from my Relief Society today and it had this quote:
“The gospel is a thing of joy. It provides us with a reason for gladness. Of course there are times of sorrow. Of course there are hours of concern and anxiety. We all worry. But the Lord has told us to lift our hearts and rejoice. I see so many people … who seem never to see the sunshine, but who constantly walk with storms under cloudy skies. Cultivate an attitude of happiness. Cultivate a spirit of optimism. Walk with faith, rejoicing in the beauties of nature, in the goodness of those you love, in the testimony which you carry in your heart concerning things divine…I am asking that we stop seeking out the storms and enjoy more fully the sunlight”
(from Words of the Prophet: The Spirit of Optimism by President Gordon B. Hinckley).
Isn't this quote just awesome?? Just what I needed. Thank you, sisters! I keep reading it over and over and over again. I need this quote to become part of my being, right.now.
I have a testimony of this Gospel and that "men are that they have joy." I do have many reasons to rejoice and will continue to count my blessings each day! :)

Amen to that sister!! Yes, I totally use sock puppets and they LOVE it!!! Olivia is SOOOOOO adorable. Isn't being a Mommy the greatest blessing EVER! My girls are only 2 1/2 and 1, but I cry sometimes thinking about how fast they grow. I don't have babies anymore. Thank goodness for pictures. I love watching them grow up, but oh how I miss them as little babies. I love how you talk about how much you love Olivia and how much you love being a Mommy!! I feel the same way! I LOVE being with my little girls and I hope they never grow up! I wish we could have a scrapbooking party because I haven't worked on mine in forever. If you're ever in Dallas, Texas, let me know and we'll have to get together!!
Love this too, thank you my dear :)
