Storms Never Come To Stay

This post isn't really missionary related but I just feel the need to say it. 

For the first time in a long time, I am truly happy. Which is kinda funny because the circumstances I'm under right now are far from ideal.  

I work all day everyday.

Most of my friends live at least 2 hours away from me.

I'm not going to college at the moment like I always thought I would be.

And the love of my life is about 2000 miles away from me.

I'm basically a hermit (involuntarily) that works 10 hours a day either scooping ice cream or sitting in a basement of a funeral home making memorial videos for funerals.

Like I said, far from ideal. 

But just over the last couple weeks, the way I look at everything has changed. Instead of looking at that list the way it's written, I look at it like this:

I have TWO jobs that have good pay. A lot of people can't even get one job.

I have AMAZING friends that are worth missing.

I get to go to college, not as soon as I planned, but I still get to go.

I have found the love of my life and he has left everything behind to change peoples lives for two years.

I don't know what it is that has changed to make me have such a different outlook on my life but I'm grateful for it. 

I have absolutely nothing to complain about. 

No, I don't love my jobs, I don't have any friends nearby, I'm not going to college, and I don't get to see or even talk to my love everyday but that is nothing to complain about. 

LIFE. IS. GOOD.

If you're going through a rough patch, just change your outlook. 

It's as simple as that. 

Here's some happy songs because why not.

BE HAPPY! 

I know, I know. Any of you that know me are thinking, "Uhh Jenna. Take your own advice."

I'm working on it. :)

But serously. Just be happy. It makes living so much better. :)
