<\/a> Family time is my most favorite time of all. We packed our weekend with special little moments + enjoyed every last second of our time together. I love that we can do absolutely nothing + still find ourselves in a hiccup invested puddle of happy tears in an instant. The boys went to the Jazz…<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":4173,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true,"jetpack_social_post_already_shared":true,"jetpack_social_options":{"image_generator_settings":{"template":"highway","enabled":false},"version":2}},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-3138","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-uncategorized"],"jetpack_publicize_connections":[],"jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/theparrishplace.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/04\/walking_zpsea93a55e.jpg","jetpack_shortlink":"https:\/\/wp.me\/p5mhS8-OC","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/theparrishplace.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3138","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/theparrishplace.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/theparrishplace.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/theparrishplace.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/theparrishplace.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=3138"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/theparrishplace.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3138\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":18203,"href":"https:\/\/theparrishplace.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3138\/revisions\/18203"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/theparrishplace.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/4173"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/theparrishplace.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=3138"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/theparrishplace.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=3138"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/theparrishplace.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=3138"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
\nGeneral Conference left me feeling like I could conquer the world. Ready to take things on head first. We drive by the Conference Center almost every day\u00a0+ often take it for granted. I love the tulips + the blossoms that this time of year bring. I especially LOVED elder Uchtdorf’s talk about being grateful in all circumstances. (BUT I still can’t spell his name for the life of me) We should strive to incorporate gratitude into our daily\u00a0happenings.\u00a0The good, the bad, the happy +\u00a0especially\u00a0the hard times.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span>

\n<\/span> “We need to seek gratitude as a disposition, a way of life that stands independent of our current situation, whatever that may be. They choice is ours.<\/span>\u00a0Being grateful in time of distress does not mean that we are pleased with our circumstances. It does mean that through the eyes of faith we look beyond our present-day challenges. The choice is ours. We can choose to limit our gratitude based on the blessings we feel we lack. . . or we can choose to be grateful no matter what. This type of gratefulness transcends whatever is\u00a0happening\u00a0around us. It surpasses disappointment, discouragement and despair. It blooms\u00a0just as beautifully in the icy landscape of winter as it does in the blessed warmth of summer.”\u00a0<\/span><\/i>
\n
\n<\/span> I love that. Am I still grateful when things aren’t exactly going my way? \u00a0Everyone is fighting their own battle, whether it’s plastered for the world to see or not. You can listen to this amazing talk right here<\/a>.<\/span>
