Sometimes being happy is just annoying. When the things you think should go your way, just don't. I feel like I'm trying to be happy, but i'm not doing to great of a job to actually be happy. I'm not hitting rock bottom, or going through close to anything as awful as others, but sometimes it can just be happy with the situations at hand.
This past weekend was my church, THE CHURCH OF JESUS CHRIST OF LATTER DAY SAINTS' General Conference. This is where the authorities of our church speak to us, in 4 different 2 hour sessions spread over Saturday and Sunday. I'm not going to lie, when I was younger I only liked conference because that meant staying home and not having to get ready for church, getting up whenever, and more of just a free day. I was a heathen, I know. But now that I listen more,and realize HOW much conference talks apply to my lives, I look forward to the first weekend in April and in October. I definitely have a few favorite talks from this weekend, but one that is definitely applying to life right now was Paul V. Johnson from the 70. It was conveniently on trials, and how they build character, bring blessings to our lives and are so important for progression in our lives. He made a great point to say that we all want growth without challenges but that isn't ever going to happen.
With that being said i'll stop being annoyed and think of the reasons as to why this is a terrific tuesday
1. General Conference this past weekend. Definitely taught me a tonnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn. and i mean A TON.
2. It is my very.last.tuesday.in.the.mitten. HOORAY!
3. It's TOMS one day without shoes
4. My parents are so kind to pay $445 for my bratty laptop to get fixed.
so there. sometimes when you think you're life isn't how you want it, stop and think to yourself all that you actually have. And for those who aren't LDS, and would like to learn more about General conference, tell me and I can help you find the talks. They can apply to ANYONE not just mormons :)
Also. listen to this song. I love it
