Being Happy With the Small and Simple Things

I have felt so busy the past few weeks with my new job! So busy that I am falling asleep at about 9:00 every night. I feel like an old lady. I am really enjoying my job I just can't believe how much it takes out of me. There is a lady at work named Annie and I absolutely love her. She has such a positive attitude, she is great with the patients (even the eeediot ones), and is just so happy. I felt bad as I realized I have times where I am annoyed with patients and especially irritated with the drivers. Then I feel even worse when I realize these people are all Heavenly Fathers children and he loves ALL of them so why can't I. I have watched Annie over the last couple weeks and wondered how does she stay so positive and love all these people? I think it is because she focuses on being happy even with the smallest and simplest things.  I thought about that a lot this past weekend. I knew I needed to appreciate the many blessings I have in my life, even if they were small. I thought about Danny trying to keep things as clean as he could and cooking chicken for us all on Sunday so we could all try to be a little healthier. I thought about the children I was able to talk to about diabetes and help them realize they could be strong and not be so scared about doing shots. I thought about our new sweet little baby George straight from heaven( I keep showing everybody at work how cute he is!). And I thought about my calling and the opportunity I have to serve the sisters in my ward. Yesterday we were able to visit a very strong sister. Normally we just visit new members, but we decided to see how she was doing. As soon as we came in and sat down with her we told her how great we thought she was. She just started crying because she felt she wasn't living up to her potential. I immediately gave her a big hug and it felt so good to be there with her, the spirit was so strong. We all knew we were supposed to go to see this sister. I feel so blessed to have this gospel in my life and to know that Heavenly Father loves me. This week my goal is to be happy with the small and simple things. I think this will take a little patience at times but I know I will be blessed for taking the time to appreciate them! I love you all and I am so grateful for your love and support!
