I am learning what it means to be happy in this life. I appreciate the wisdom shared recently by Dieter F. Uchtdorf.

“So often we get caught up in the illusion that there is something just beyond our reach that would bring us happiness: a better family situation, a better financial situation, or the end of a challenging trial. The older we get, the more we look back and realize that external circumstances don’t really matter or determine our happiness. We do matter. We determine our happiness. You and I are ultimately in charge of our own happiness.”

May we all choose to be happy, as happy as this beautiful young girl.
