Today was a splendid day filled with happy moments!
First off, we went to Legoland as a family and had a blast riding our favorite rides and eating our favorite food! We even got to go to the fancy soda machine at one of the Legoland stores and try Coke Zero Raspberry! It was SO good! Can't wait to see what we try next time! So we had some much needed family fun times. It is so nice both my boys are tall enough to ride most (for Joel ALL) of the rides. Happy moments hearing my kids laugh and smile on the rides and just enjoy being with Mommy and Daddy for an afternoon.
Then...we headed to the Carlsbad outlets for a late lunch/early dinner. We found the most AMAZING cupcake place! It is like a Golden Spoon of cupcakes! You get to choose from several cupcake flavors, then choose which icing you want, and THEN what toppings (graham cracker, rainbow sprinkles, pink sugar just to name a few) WOW! They were pretty tasty too!
Finally my night concluded with the General Relief Society Broadcast from Salt Lake City. It was wonderful to join women from all over the world in listening to our church leaders from our ladies organization (the OLDEST women's organization in the United States!) and from one of our Apostles. What really stuck with me was President Uchdorf's message to "be happy NOW" and not to dream and work towards happier times. That is what this blog is all about! I am being happy NOW, finding the joy NOW, and writing down all of my happy moments NOW lol. I tried dreaming about happier days. Guess what? They don't happen! Life is full of complicated, depressing, burdensome things! BUT....I can find the happy moments each day of my life, write them down, and all of the other things just don't seem to matter as much because I know that tomorrow, I am going to have MORE happy moments to write down no matter what! What a smile I have on my face. What a lighter heart I have because of my daily happy moments. I wish that for everyone...to find the joy THROUGH the trials. Find even just a little sun coming through the dark clouds and you CAN smile.
