Pure Happiness

Being thankful, I beleive, is a state of pure happiness.
I love the feeling I recieve when someone does me a favor, pays me a compliment, or influences my life in a postive way.
People just bring me pure happiness sometimes.

I'm going to start a gratitude journal.
I believe the Lord can show the countless things he has done for me each day by doing this.
Every day, from now on, I am going to write down all of the things I am grateful for each day.
I've been in a "depression" lately, you could say.
All I've been focused on is how I always screw up when I try to talk to people,
And the idea that I'm not good enough.
But I now realize that I'm in need of the opportunity to count my blessings each day.
This, will bring me joy.

Today, it rained.
It rained for hours, actually.
And during the time period in which I would have usually sulked in depression, while engulfed in the heart of social networking I decided to count my blessings on the little window bench of mine.
Something about writing to the sound of pitter patting rain knocking gently on your window just calms you right down.
It was amazing how I took what would usually be another day of sulking, and turned it into a day of pure happiness.
I was so grateful today.
I have already seen dramatic improvements in my thoughts.
I have seen my testimony begin to bloom before my eyes.
