As I sat there during fast & testimony meeting, a thought came to me. It was one of those times when I didn't feel like sharing my testimony that month. For a long time, I've been hoping for a happy ending in my life. I realized that it was a mistake. There's no such thing as a happy ending. There are, however, happy moments which come and go throughout life. Perhaps they are the moments I should look and live for? Maybe this will change my outlook on life. I've always been somewhat cynical about things.
While I was pondering on the subject, another thought came to me. Many of us know that without trails and difficulties, there can be no joy and happiness. This is one way we deal with hard times and unfortunate events. I remembered that C.S. Lewis mentioned something about people would not remember God if it was not for the trails they've received. Now, when I look back, I noticed similar sayings had been pointed out in the Book of Mormon. As to where exactly? I'll have to look that up.
Work was slow, but I was with some of the best peeps I love to work with, especially on a Sunday. I just wanna say that Anil, Andrew, and Josh (a.k.a. JMF) are some of my favorite coworkers! Sometimes, I'm tempted to record our conversations because they are simply ridiculous. I'm not sure if they trump girl talks, but hey, whatever.
I did have a slight mental break down at the beginning of my shift. I think it was the can of Ginger Ale, but I said some rather strange things and acted like I was high on something. Let's just say I was very obnoxious and cynical. I'm glad my friends can put up with me.
Well, 4th of July tomorrow! I'm hoping my roommate David has some awesome plans panned out for FHE. If not, oh well...it's a nice day off.
=D
