I think...

Today was one of those days that you really have every reason in the world to be happy.  Isn't that great?  For at least one day, you can just push aside all your problems and worries.

I read a great book today by John Bytheway.  (It's not a sales pitch - and not because I don't wholeheartedly endorse it, but because I know no one's reading this.)  John Bytheway is pretty amazing. (Side note: I worked at the BYU Alumni Family Camp Aspen Grove one summer and I had the chance to hear him give a seminar there.  So amazing.  I also got to meet a couple of his kids who are adorable.)
This book of his is all about how to find happiness and contentment in life, no matter who you are and what you're going through.

Here's a great quote I'd like to share with you from a chapter of his book.  He writes,


"Each morning, I try to say to myself, 'I think I'll be delightful.' I don't know what will happen today, but I can choose to respond delightfully to anything that does happen, good or bad."

              
 Now that's a pretty great way to look at life.  Stop comparing yourself to others.  Be happy!  Do your best.  Is there really anything else to do?  Nope, there's not.

Anyway, that's my shpeel for today.  

But wait, there's more!

Just kidding, I'm exhausted.  I'll save the rest for another day. (Don't be too excited, imaginary readers.)
