happiness.

you know what?

i realized something today.

i. am. happy.

and it's not your "ohh! i just won the lottery!" kind of happy.

it's the kind where i don't have bad days.

things may go so wrong; i may fail a test, get a parking ticket,

not be able to find a certain shoe, get into an argument, not get asked on a date,

sleep through my alarm, have a headache, feel homesick,

get my toe stepped on, get honked at, say something really dumb,

take a cold shower, forget something at home, wear mismatched clothes,

not have working internet, feel alone, or forget to put water in my cake mix...

but i'll still be happy.

it's because i'm living my life the way God would want me to live it.

i am so blessed to be at such a good school,

to have such good friends,

to have the gospel of Jesus Christ in my life.

i make mistakes all the time,

but thanks to the atonement...

everything is okay. everything is okay.

i would just like to give credit for this post to Alma chapter 5, of the Book of Mormon.
