Waiting for Happiness

I'm hoping that no one reads blogs anymore because then this can become my online journal. :) I find comfort in this old blog for some reason. There is so much history here.

Well, I've put on a pretty good front for a while, but moving to Montana has been hard. I can't figure out what it is.
Is it this little apartment that's hard, after having our amazing, big beautiful house that was completely done, comfy, and familiar?
Is it the lack of friends and support?
Is it the change in culture? Now we see smoking, drinking, gross billboards and bumper stickers and people with bad manners and language.
I really can't figure out what it is. But I did find something...
"We shouldn't wait to be happy until we reach some future point, only to discover that happiness was already available all the time." -Dieter F. Uchtdorf
Maybe that's it. Maybe I'm waiting for a house and friends and comforts that I do not have to MAKE me happy, when the choice to be happy is already here.
Everyone on Facebook is doing this 100 happy days. I don't necessarily want to do that, but I do want to write down every Friday on my blog things that I am grateful for or things that I find joy and happiness in. My goals, my dreams, my hopes. This should be fun. I think it will help.
Sometimes I look at this old blog and look at my old posts and I'm so grateful that they are there.
What a great way to use media! See you tomorrow my dear old friend.
(Maybe I should change my blogs name to "dear old friend"...hmmm, I'll think about it.)
