" 'Both abundance and lack [of abundance] exist simultaneously in our lives, as parallel realities. It is always our conscious choice which secret garden we will tend . . . When we choose not to focus on what is missing from our lives but are grateful for the abundance that's present--love, health, family, friends, work, the joys of nature, and personal pursuits that bring us [happiness]--the wasteland of illusion falls away and we experience heaven on earth.' "
-Sarah Ban Breathnach quoted by Thomas S. Monson "Finding Joy in the Journey" Ensign November 2008
Beautiful, huh? I'd been feeling the blues, but this quote snapped me out of it. I've got a lot to be happy about. Here's a little glimpse at our secret garden:
mini boat races
sweet paisley
desert adventures
fresh salad for dinner
almost 7 months!
