One day as I was driving down a winding road in our small town, I noticed a man standing on the side of the road.
He seemed so out of place as his figure contrasted against the old brick buildings and antique shops, but his face said something different.
Never in my life had I seen such pure peace and content all contained in one expression.
He stood with his hands gently laid on his hips and his eyes looking up at the sky just smiling.
I think about that man often, and every time I do, I cannot help but smile.
This peace and joy is real. It comes when I read my scriptures, and it comes when I express my gratitude.
It comes when I spend fun and relaxed time with friends, and it comes when I speak to my Lord and Savior in prayer.
It comes when I win a battle. Whether it be huge or small. It comes after I learn something new, and my mind is able to grasp it.
Oh how there is so much happiness that can be found in this life! And it is right under our noses.
