Choosing the Happier Place

So, this is just a pep talk for myself, but sometimes it helps to write it down, and who knows, maybe it will help someone else.
My friend over at Second Wind, shared this amazing quote that is helping her get through a bump in the road. I thought it was great and helped me get through my rough day as well.

God grant me the serenity
to accept the things I cannot change;
courage to change the things I can;
and wisdom to know the difference.

Living one day at a time;
Enjoying one moment at a time;
Accepting hardships as the pathway to peace;
Taking, as He did, this sinful world
as it is, not as I would have it;
Trusting that He will make all things right
if I surrender to His Will;
That I may be reasonably happy in this life
and supremely happy with Him
Forever in the next.
Amen.

Life is full of surprises, but that is what makes it so great. Right now I am focusing on the blessings in my life. My amazing husband who overcomes so much everyday, yet chooses to be here for us! I am so thankful that we made it home just in the nick of time, before the terrible flooding in Nashville!!! (I guess there was a reason I needed to rush home after all!) I am so thankful for my kids that make me smile each and everyday. I am thankful for my Savior, who knows me and loves me and there for me whenever I need him....no matter what!!

Love you all!
