Happy to be me...

Writer's digest had an article about blogging and one of the tips it shared was that friends don't let friends blog drunk. In other words be aware of your state of mind when your blogging. Well I just got back from a hot date with my man (yes I dressed up--black heels instead of red this time) and I was just thinking about how wonderful my life is. I started this blog at a very difficult time in my life and I'm afraid that some of my posts might reflect that. I was at a YW leadership meeting last night and one of the points they made is that when things are really hard it is often because we are on the right path and Satan is trying desperately to stop our progress. I must be on the yellow brick road itself because Satan has been on me, peck, peck, pecking at the back of my head non stop lately. It's been a challenge, but I am not easily defeated. I never give up without a fight and if something is wrong in my life I find a way to fix it. I need to express my gratitude for how richly blessed I am. Just as the title of my blog says, my life is bliss. I'm not normally a gloomy gus. I'm an optimistic, glass is half full kind of a girl who loves my Heavenly Father and Savior Jesus Christ and has a testimony that this truly is a great plan of happiness. And my life has been so happy. Everything I have wished for my life has come true. This move has definitely been a stumbling block, but I can also name many wonderful blessing that have come from it, like reconnecting with family and making new friendships that I cherish. So please forgive my sob stories and therapeutic Ah-ha moments when I discover that I'm not quite as tough as I like myself and everyone else to believe. I'm human, I'm vulnerable, I'm alive--how glorious that is. My life is beautiful and I'm happy to be me.
