Things That Brought Me JOY Today!

On Sunday in Young Women's our lesson was on Having Joy! My friend Carol taught it and gave each of us a little notebook. Inside is a quote by President Harold B. Lee,

"Happiness does not depend

on what happens outside of you,

but on what happens

inside of you."

She encouraged each of us to make lists of things that bring us joy daily. I have loved making my list today, it made me notice all the little things that make me happy,
Like:

• Sleeping in
• A spotless floor
• the smell of banana bread baking
• uplifting music
• dinner bubbling on the stove
• reading scriptures with my babies
• a good book
• looking forward to Home, Family, and Personal Enrichment meeting
• watching the kids play outside in perfect weather
• my roses
• nap time
• thinking about my missionary
• giving a child a clean bed
• wearing an apron
• talking with a friend
• drawing a cute bunny for Bitt-E to color
• teaching art to the kids and their friends
• looking at the desk that my Princess cleaned for me
• remembering to recycle
• letting kids help
• feeding dinosaurs green beans at lunch with Bitt-E
• using my pretty forks
• making Grandma's chili
• making two dinners at once
• veggies with lunch
• seeing things I've made being played with and enjoyed
• cold orange soda
• Girl Scout Cookies - Samoas!
• waving at neighbors
• real butter
• a walk with the little ones
• noticing happiness
