While reading the book Proof of Heaven (which I suggest to everyone) I came across a quote that I really loved.
"There are only two ways to live your life. One is as thought nothing is a miracle. The other is as if everything is." Albert Einstein
I loved this. Usually I would have thought this quote was super cheesy and lame but because I have been somewhat emotional lately, I loved it. Too often I get caught up in all the problems that I am facing or the stupid little things that happen throughout the day. So I have been doing my best to really notice the little miracles in my life. This makes such a difference on how my day goes and my attitude towards everything. I know that when we focus on the good things and thank our Father in Heaven for them, the Lord will bring us even more good! I decided to start a little journal called "The Little Things" and write down tiny miracles or things that made me smile that day. (Wow I am turning into such a cheeseball and softie). And I love Elder Uchtdorf's talk from conference https://www.lds.org/general-conference/2014/04/grateful-in-any-circumstances?lang=eng
Your comments were wise and not at all cheesy. "The Little Things Journal" is a wonderful idea. Also, I'm glad you are liking Proof of Heaven-it contains so many great insights. I asked Emme to choose a conference talk today that we could read from. She picked Pres Uchtdorf's talk-"Grateful in Any Circumstance." You and Emme were on the same wavelength!
