perspective

There are days when I think I'm having bad luck, one instance after another. When my day is almost more than I can bare. Days when I just want to go bury myself in bed and have someone else take over for awhile, while I regroup and recharge.

But its rare that a "Break" will come when you think you need it most.When things start to overwhelm, exhaust and demand our attention to be directed in all directions at once. We easily start to focus on the negative, ignoring the simple quietness of the positive.

And its true -- Very seldom do we view the positive and let it out weight the negative in our lives. Its moments like these when we need to GIVE THANKS.

2 Nephi 9:52

Pray unto [God] continually by day,

and give thanks unto his holy name by night.

[then] Let your hearts rejoice. 

Pray during your day for continual strength, patience, guidance, knowledge and peace. Then at the end of your day -- no matter how taxing, no matter if you feel let down or forgotten; give thanks -- as you seek out things to be grateful for, even the worst of days can be turned around. You will soon see that your countless prayers for help were heard, that you were not alone or and your disappointment can be turned satisfaction.

By seeking out things to be thankful for you will find they will be simple things, that otherwise would have been over looked. Your mind will be enlightened to the beauty of the day that laid uncovered. There is good, simple, silent goodness; in everyday of our lives.

Seek it out -- and your heart will rejoice!
