Ok, so I've kinda wanted to blog for a while, but I haven't because I fear I'll waste too much time on it or something. But, I want to try it out. So, here we go....
Thanksgiving...Thanksgiving. I'm very grateful for family and friends, the gospel of Jesus Christ, and so many other things, particularly my good husband, Steve, and our little girl, Courtney. But I've tried to specifically come up with things that aren't so obvious when it comes to gratitude. One thing that's been on my mind is humor. I appreciate when, at appropriate times, someone takes something dull or frustrating and turns it into something we can smile and laugh about. I sometimes watch late-night news shows. I get so nervous and fed up with the people and politics of this world. It's nice to hear a humorous spin on things and to just laugh at the very things that stress me out sometimes. There is something bigger than all the crummy things we are bombarded with all the time. As a little girl in my Primary class reminded me today, life is good. There are good people and good things all around. A lot of times the good stuff is quieter and more subdued than the bad stuff. Many times we need to slow our lives down and intentionally look around ourselves to see the good stuff. But it is there and will ultimately be the source of everything happy and joyous. Be thankful. Life is good.
