I have another blog that I write on chronic illness and finding joy in the journey. http://www.yourchronicle.blogspot.com/ So I have been studying and pondering on ways to find joy in my life. As I've read and put into practice the joy starters that I've found I came across a beautiful talk that gives an eternal perspective on the search for joy.
The following link connects to a talk by Richard G. Scott on finding joy in life.

“Now, what do we hear in the gospel which we have received? A voice of gladness! A voice of mercy from heaven; … a voice of gladness for the living and the dead; glad tidings of great joy … Let your hearts rejoice, and be exceedingly glad” (D&C 128:19, 22).

Thanksgiving
the blessings in our lives
that usually go unnoticed:
a home that surrounds us
with comfort and protection;
delicious food, for pleasure
in both eating and sharing;
clothes to snuggle up in,
books and good entertainment
to expand our minds;
and freedom to worship our God.
Most of all we are thankful
for our family and friends,
those treasured people
who make our lives extra special.
You are part of that cherished group.
On Thanksgiving, (and every day)
we appreciate you.
