Last week, our lesson in Relief Society focused on happiness. We talked about what happiness is ... and what it isn't. We agreed that great riches don't make for happiness. Neither do many of the things the world deems important.
What does make for happiness? We came up with the usual suspects: service, family, friends. We included in their sharing the good news of the Gospel with others. Happiness is one of life's ironies, in that when we chase it, it frequently eludes us. But when we engage in doing good, it comes to perch on our shoulders.
So, for today, I am grateful for those times when happiness happens to perch on my shoulder.
