Finding inner peace.

Last week I was able to attend a Stake Relief Society meeting, The topic was finding inner peace. In a crazy world with SO many distractions, this meeting was truly a blessing to me. The questions were posed, "What are the things that keep you from feeling the spirit" or "distract you from becoming closer to your Heavenly Father". I was thinking that I was actually doing pretty good, but soon realized, I have A LOT of work to do. I know in my life right now, things seem so hectic and crazy, and I have a hard time turning off all of the thoughts and worries that occupy my mind!

My goal is to simply just make time to ponder and think, and thank my Heavenly Father for all of the blessings in my life. I have been blessed so abundantly. I know that he is very mindful of me, and my family
and he wants me to be happy. I see his hand in every aspect of my life, and I do know it is because of him, that my life is so full.

I am grateful for a loving Father in Heaven who loves me and who is there for me no matter what. I have also realized, that life is a gift and that the time I have is unpredictable and precious and shouldn't be cluttered with all of the negative thoughts that many times creep in!

I am determined to do better and to make time to count my blessings, and leave those things alone that are unimportant and distract me from being a better person, and to really focus on what is really important!

Christmas has come and gone and since January IS the most depressing month of the year. I was thinking about how many fun things I have to look forward to this year.
