Yesterday Marc and I went to see the Imax film Mystery of the Nile. I never realized how much there is to see in this world. How many mysteries wait for my wondering. How many landscapes and monuments and ancient places await my awe and gaze. There is so much to learn, so much to do, so much to change.
How come I so easily fall into boredom, blaa moods, fear of mediocracy? Love is real and adventure is but beneath my feet. Lately I've realized that we are free to choose not only what we do but with what mood we do what we do. We can choose joy. Amazing.
Joy has already chosen us. Her hand has been stretched.
In fact I feel that joy is what the atonement offers. "In the world you shall have tribulation, but be of good cheer for I have overcome the world," says Christ. And be of good cheer we must. To be happy is to accept Christ's gift.
I plan on enjoying the earth, on venturing out and spotting the miraculous that blossoms before me, just finger tips away.
