A cupel of days ago I made a wooden sign that read "Life Is Good" as a present for French Fry, and every time I see that sign I say, "You know what? That is so true, life is good! Once I say it I can see it! And I am much happier the rest of the day!

The glass is half full
I have spent the better part of the past few years only noticing what is wrong with the world. And yes, there are many things wrong, but I had an experience to help me see things half full instead of half empty. I was sick over this Memorial Day weekend and spent 3 days on the couch watching online TV. I watched 5 episodes of the Biggest Loser, 2 Extreme Makeover Home Edition, an ABC special on Love, and many commercials for and new show called Extreme Makeover Weight Loss Edition. What I learned from watching all these inspiring people as they shared their stories is that there is a lot of good in the world too and maybe it's time I notice it and stop focusing on the bad. I have never really understood how to apply an attitude of a half full glass, but I do now.

Happiness from the voice of Moroni
We read a scripture a couple of days ago and we thought it was interesting:
Mormon 9:14
"And then cometh the judgment of the Holy one upon them;
and then cometh the time that he that is filthy shall be filthy
still; and he that is righteous shall be righteous still; he that is
happy shall be happy still; and he that is unhappy shall be
unhappy still."
Wow, we better learn how to be happy soon or we'll be unhappy forever! - Mustard Seed
I have been unhappy and am unhappy still. I have been unhappy and stressed out for 39 years. That already feels like an eternity. I really want to learn how to be joyful and happy so I can have that for the real eternity. - French Fry
