"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."

Someone Much Wiser Than I Once Said...


"Gratefulness is the key to a happy life that we hold in our hands, because if we are not grateful  then no matter  how much we have we will not be happy - because we will always want to have something else or something more." 
- David Steindt-Rast 


I suppose that this goes along the lines of "Money can't buy happiness", but there is so much truth here. There is a weight lifted off my shoulders when I take a minute or two and think about what I DO have. The relationships, the employment that pays my bills, the health, the ability to have many hobbies, ALL OF MY BOOKS. 

I am usually thanking Heavenly Father, but it would also be applicable to thank whatever you wish. Whether it be a God, the universe, the Earth, or the thing itself. 

You will see how full your life really is.
