Why Finding Joy in the Journey?

So my friends Chalyse and Mikaela finally convinced me to start a blog... I have always been a little hesitant on starting one because I thought it was a "married persons" thing, but I have come to realize that it is not and this can be a great journal for me! I realize that most peoples first posts are about how they have no clue what they are doing, well this is true for me too, but I would like my first post to tell you all why my title is "Finding Joy in the Journey."

"Finding Joy in the Journey" by President Thomas S. Monson is one of my absolute favorite talks ever! He starts his talk by saying that we will all have changes come into our lives, its going to happen, some of these changes are good and we are excited for, but some are unexpected and unplanned. We must continue to move forward, to take chances. This is our one shot at mortal life, we have to give it all we have! We have to find joy in our journey! President Monson talks a lot about not putting things off for tomorrow, live for today! So that is why "Finding Joy in the Journey" is the title of my blog, to remind me that changes will come my way, heartache and pain may knock at my door, but I must move forward because the future is bright, and no matter what I can find joy in the simple things of life!
