Happy

I went to our temple recently and saw people we have known over the years who live in various parts of the city. I think I met eleven people I knew and it was so fun to see them all. Three of them were from our current ward and there were four stakes represented by those eleven. Seeing each one brought a smile to my face and it struck me that some of them had probably never seen me smile so broadly. I had the impression I shocked a couple of them with my greeting and I realized how much happier I have become since we moved to our new home.

When I think of some of our new friends, particularly those at church, I start to smile. Seeing them regularly and associating with them in various settings makes me smile even more. I feel like I've got a perma-grin lately and I love the feeling.

I have become so much happier and I feel so blessed. As I drove to work this morning, I was thinking about how amazing it was that we were able to sell our house and find such a perfect house to buy. The finances worked out so well that I think it's miraculous. I feel like blessings have been pouring on our heads ever since and I think I can justifiably blame God for our happy circumstances. Better schools, better commute, wonderful neighborhood and neighbors, amazing house, fantastic ward ... we really are blessed and I am so grateful for the miracles that have brought us here.
