"Finish each day and be done with it. You have done what you could. Some blunders and absurdities no doubt crept in; forget them as soon as you can. Tomorrow is a new day; begin it well and serenely and with too high a spirit to be cumbered with your old nonsense." -Emerson


"Either write something worth reading or do something worth writing about." -Benjamin Franklin

Alma 26:30 "And we have suffered all manner of afflictions, and all this, that perhaps we might be the means of saving some soul; and we supposed that our joy would be full if perhaps we could be the means of saving some."

Utah

I have a freind.. a very good friend in fact, whom I have always made fun of for having a dislike for an entire state. Utah, although not of of the prettier states as far as I'm concerned, has never done anything bad to her I would say. I would say she could not like the people, not like the activities, the politics, or the individual things that personally happened to her, but she could not really hate an entire state. I am now eating my words. I hate this state ... I really do. I have lived here for a ew months now and am still thoroughly unimpressed by it as a whole unit. My point in telling you this is that I have learned that even in my own irrational and admittedly narrow opinion of this state I still recognize that some people really love it here. I can not fault them for that. I think that this world is severely lacking in its reserves of understanding and compassion.
