Personal Happiness project: week 8

This week's challenge won't be much of a challenge at all, which is good because we're packing and moving and going out of town and really really busy. The goal is to "Hug often. Help others." While the hugging bit won't bring immediate happiness as we'll be saying goodbye to a great group of friends, I'm glad to have acquired such fantastic friendships that will hopefully last forever, and that makes me happy. As a cheesy yearbook entry declared, "Don't cry cuz it's over, smile cuz it happened!!!" or whatever. Luckily we'll only be twenty minutes away so we can still go on group dates and hang outs.

The other aspect of the goal is to help others. I am sure to be in debt to a lot of people as we move and clean this week. Hopefully I will be able to step back and think about what other people need and serve them. Last night for Family Home Evening with a group of friends the lesson was about temples. Temples are great because we get to learn and be in Heavenly Father's house. I hope that we'll be able to attend the temple sometime this week or next week to remember the blessings promised to us and serve others there who cannot be there for themselves.



Hug often and help others. May be a hug is the best way to help someone! Anyway, this week will be bittersweet with goodbyes and new beginnings. Here's to hoping we make it through in one piece!
