happiness.

this week has been fantastic. we did missionary week which means no tv, texting, internet, music. nothing. as hard as it was, it was actually a great experience and i'm so so grateful i got to do it. today in church, a girl gave a talk in sacrament on happiness. she said that most of us base our happiness on what we THINK will make us happy. like when i go here, i will be happy. or when this or this happens to me, i'll be happy. and this completely stood out to me, because this is exactly what i think. there's this one specific thing that i wish would happen and i base my happiness around that. i always think to myself.. "well when that happens, i'll be completely happy." but no. i won't. because what i think will make me happy, won't last long. so be happy now. and you will be even happier when that one thing you thought would make you happy, eventually comes around. i can't wait for the moment when i find every moment, and everything happy. but i'm getting there. everyone has to get there. enjoy life. its so so great & we are all so lucky and we take advantage of our happiness at times. so when something comes around that makes you happy, enjoy that moment. but be happy even when people or things are bringing you down. if you want to be happy, then be it. there's not one reason why you don't deserve happiness in your life. everyone deserves & needs it.

the sun is shinnin just the way we like it.

the weather? its wonderful. i keep forgetting that its only spring break and not summer. but that's okay, summer is just right around the corner. but spring break has been perfect so far and its only Tuesday. first started off with playing night games in the home with all the lights turned off, Easter, and baseball games. i love my friends.
