I receive little quotes from the LDS website everyday. I really liked today's though and thought that I would share it with everyone. I hope you enjoy!
"You have a choice. You can wring your hands and be consumed with concern for the future or choose to use the counsel the Lord has given to live with peace and happiness in a world awash with evil. If you choose to concentrate on the dark side, this is what you will see. . . . Now the brighter side. Despite pockets of evil, the world overall is majestically beautiful, filled with many good and sincere people. God has provided a way to live in this world and not be contaminated by the degrading pressures evil agents spread throughout it. You can live a virtuous, productive, righteous life by following the plan of protection created by your Father in Heaven: His plan of happiness."
Topic: happiness

I was just thinking about this because I just finished a book with a lot of sad & evil in it and was feeling a little overwhelmed by some of the horrors people actually live but in the end I realized, you have to find happiness. I believe President Hinckley knew of the ugly out there, but he chose to focus on the positive. I think it is the better choice.
Thanks for sharing this one. Hope things are well with you and Jon.
Great wisdom from those we can trust.
Sure would love to hear more from you?
