Choose to be grateful!! Here is a short excerpt of one of my favorite talks the past two days. I started an experiment over a year ago that I would not air any complaints or grievances out loud on my Facebook page. Instead, I set out to pray about my grievances directly to my Heavenly Father and figure out how I could get beyond what was bothering me. Often, I would talk to my husband about the issues I was having. Sometimes, I would talk to my mom about things. And occasionally, an opportunity would arise to speak to my father about a particular problem. I knew I could rely on their advice and wisdom to help me through any circumstances I might be in. I found that when I chose to be grateful--to not complain or whine but really attempt to understand the purpose of the adversity I was facing, to find SOME reason to be thankful for my circumstances--I was happier and more uplifted. I was able to truly count all my blessings, even some that I may not have considered before. I was looking at my problems from a more eternal perspective. And I felt the love and companionship of my Father in Heaven, who I knew was holding my hand through it all.
