One of those days

Do you ever have those days

where you wake up, and you are just grumpy?

You're tired.

And the last thing you want to do is go to work and put on a happy face.

Today, that was my kind of day.

I was grumpy and I didn't care who knew it.

I felt catty and some other undesirable words, and all I really wanted to do was chew people out.

Super good for the soul.

I came home from work hoping that a little nap would solve my grumpiness.

I woke up with blood shot eyes, and feeling just sad and tired.

Needless to say, it didn't help.

I was able to spend some time with family and loved ones.

It eased the sad feelings a little bit.

But back in my room the grumpiness returns.

After getting into a discussion with a loved one that left me in tears,

all I could do was curl up on my bed and just be sad.

Do you ever wonder, like I do, why we have these kind of days?

Today I totally soaked it in.

It was almost like I enjoyed it.

Everything that went wrong, seemed like a big deal.

And it was one thing after another.

But it wasn't a big deal.

And the feelings I felt, weren't from the Lord.
Today this thought seems appropriate:

The Lord’s way is not hard. Life is hard, not the gospel. “There is an opposition in all things,” everywhere, for everyone. Life is hard for all of us, but life is also simple. We have only two choices.  We can either follow the Lord and be endowed with His power and have peace, light, strength, knowledge, confidence, love, and joy, or we can go some other way, any other way, whatever other way, and go it alone—without His support, without His power, without guidance, in darkness, turmoil, doubt, grief, and despair. And I ask, which way is easier?

The whole talk can be found here.
Tonight, as I open my scriptures.
As I seek inspiration from my Heavenly Father, I feel gratitude.
I feel relief and love,
and know that after my day I can find peace and understanding.
Because we have a loving Father who wants us to be happy.
And tonight I'm grateful for my Lord.
