This week I have been trying to focus on the little things in life that bring peace and happiness. I think of my sweet children a lot. They are little things that bring me the most joy. And it is their attitude towards life that helps me look at things differently. I forgot that one could find so much joy playing with a rock, rolling on the ground, making faces, or jumping up and down. My kids teach me every day how life can be enjoyed no matter the circumstances. In times of wealth or poverty, sickness or health, peace or turmoil, we can all look to the little things to find happiness. It really does help me to occasionally sit down and write my blessings on paper. I find that most of them don't consist of money or worldly objects, but small and simple treasures that make my life complete.
My trial has forced me to look at life in a more simple way. In the past I created a lot of problems for myself by making my life too complicated. Because I forgot to cherish the little things, I lost track of what is truly important and I found myself far from where I needed to be. We cannot escape the trials of life, but we can control how we overcome them. Cherishing the little things in life is one way to help overcome trials and feel consistent joy.
