Awesome Quote

I have had a rough day.
Sometimes they just happen. I found this on a friends Facebook page and thought it was so perfect for me. Now I can move on, get over myself and enjoy the ride.
Hope you all enjoy it too...


-Gordon B. Hinckley commented:
I have enjoyed these words of Jenkins Lloyd Jones, which I clipped from the newspaper some years ago. Said he:....
"Anyone who imagines that bliss is normal is going to waste a lot of time running around shouting that he's been robbed. The fact is that most putts don't drop, most beef is tough, most children grow up to be just people. Most successful marriages require a high degree of mutual toleration, and most jobs are more often dull than otherwise. Life is like an old time rail journey, filled with delays, sidetracks, smoke, dust, cinders, and jolts, interspersed only occasionally by beautiful vistas, and thrilling bursts of speed. The trick is to thank the Lord for letting you have the ride."

I love you. It was so great to read 100 things about Erin...loved it! Hey, could the next cruise be a Disney Cruise? I think that's the one I'm wishing for.
