Happy Challenges.

Monday brings a new week and a fresh start to developing a good and happy character.  I could barely drag myself out of bed this morning with how tired I was feeling.  Perhaps, I should embrace this lazy summer day and just be happy. Especially with the small and simple.

 
Happy Challenges:
 
*Walk outside and let the summer morning air refresh and invigorate you.
*Pray for a loved one throughout the day, or for the fires, firefighters, and those whose lives have been adversely affected by the wildfires.
*Dream up your next family vacation with all of the beautiful details.
*Write a letter to someone you love or admire with an I Love You or your favorite scripture (a little idea from my son…what he’s been doing this morning)
*Be a good mom.  Make cookies. (Another idea from my son 🙂
*Eat a slow and savory breakfast.
*Forgive someone who has hurt you.

*Have a spiritual lesson with your little ones or other loved ones and share your testimony of truth.
