hum your favorite hymn.

So, for those of you who don't know I have recently started working at Wulfy's washing dishes for my summer job to help pay for a lovely semester in China, if  I get accepted that is. Anyways, I started work on Tuesday, and its an okay job. The best part of it is that I get to see my Grandpa Duck everyday! (well when he's here and not in Oregon) I enjoy my job because I am bust the WHOLE time I am there so that is nice because I enjoy being busy, but for the most part it is just a really messy job and as my family can sure attest to, I don't really like to clean up after people so I guess this job is teaching me a lesson in a way. However there was a day where I came to work in a bad mood, and I really was just not in the mood to wash a million dishes. So I went in with a sour attitude and knew it was going to be a long day of dishwashing. However, about 30 minutes into washing dishes, a familiar little song came into my head. It was none other than "Hum your favorite hymn". I started singing the song in my head, and for those of you who need a refresher on the lyrics or don't know what I'm even talking about, one line says, "hum your favorite hymn, sing out with vigor and vim, and you will find it clears your mind, hum your favorite hymn". I started going through this song in my head and decided that I would give it a shot and actually "hum my favorite hymn". It took me a minute to decide on a hymn to hum because I kind love them all but I decided on "I know that my Redeemer lives", because me and Brent Meads are singing it together at Erick Barons homecoming in about a week. So as I started humming, believe it or not, my mind was becoming bad-thought free. I was getting into a better mood, and instead of thinking about how much I really just didn't like washing dishes, and just wanted to go lay by the pool, I began to be filled with thoughts of happiness and appreciation.  I was thinking about how lucky and fortunate I am to even have this job and that I am able to make money for China. I began to appreciate what I was doing. Now, even though washing dishes is not the most fun job out there, it is still a job and I could be doing a job that is far worse. Will I wash dishes for the rest of my life? No, but will I do it for the summer with a happy face, yes I will. Now after a little while of humming it turned into singing and I kept on singing hymns for the rest of the day. I enjoyed the practice time I had and I ended up enjoying myself. With the help of a little primary song I changed my mood and had a very enjoyable and productive day. So for those of you out there who find yourself in a sour mood, just hum your favorite hymn, sing out with vigor and vim, and you will find it clears your mind. Hum your favorite hymn. It just goes to show that everything I need to know, I learned in Primary.
