JOY

Seven simple ways to find joy

Affirmation: " I am a happiness seeker, and I know true, lasting, incorruptible joy comes through following Jesus Christ. To find this joy, I am drawing near to my Savior, tirelessly searching for the moments of joy and peace in my life, and lifting and serving those around me.

 I got up at 7:24, fixed myself two frozen blueberry waffles with butter and a glass of milk. Took my Tramadol and started watching Inklings at 7:36. Here are some notes I took. The talk is "A Higher Joy" by Elder Uchtdorf, the same talk I am giving in Relief Society on Sunday. 

Holy Rhythms sanctify us. Prayer, Scripture study, the Sacrament, and the Temple are some of our Holy Rhythms. They are intentional, deliberate times when we turn to the Lord. We develop a deeper relationship with the Holy Ghost. We become sanctified as we yield our hearts to God. Shine in the trenches, look for Joy. Make a list of 31 things that bring you joy and do one every day of the month, or make a list of 10 things and choose one to do when you are having a bad day. Be intentional and deliberate about your happiness. Ask yourself, how can I find joy? Seek for a higher joy by drawing closer to the Lord.

I called Arizona Arthritis this morning and complained to them that I was still experiencing a lot of pain and swelling. They called in a 7 day oral prescription of prednisone for me. Hopefully it will help.

 I had planned on going to Bunco tonight. My prize was a green leather journal with a tree on the front, one of Emily's small books, "Endure to the Middle" and a pen for the journal. James helped me by boiling 18 eggs and peeling them. He also mixed in the mayo, mustard and pickles. I made 6-8 sandwiches and cut them into fourths. 

My face started swelling and I realized I wouldn't be going tonight. I called my friend Janna Grombach for a suggestion as to who I should get to take my place. She said, "Let me take care of that for you." 

She called my good friend, Linda Price, who is only here in the summer but was the perfect choice. She is social and fun-loving and loved being asked. I wish I could have been there to play with Linda.

James took my gift and the egg salad sandwiches over to Stefani Hunsaker's where Bunco is tonight. He also went in to town to get my prednisone prescription but was too late. The pharmacy was closed before he got there. He said he would go back in the morning.
