Anyway

My best friend gave me this quote years ago- but it is still my favorite of all time!

*People are often unreasonable, illogical, and self-centered;
Forgive them anyway.

*If you are kind, people may accuse you of selfish ulterior motives;
Be kind anyway.

*If you are successful, you will win some false friends and true enemies;
Succeed anyway.

*If you are honest and forthright, they may cheat you;
Be honest anyway

*What you spend years building, they may destroy overnight;
Build anyway.

*IF you find happiness and serenity, they may be jealous and scorn;
Be joyous anyway.

*The good you do today, they will often forget tomorrow:
Do good anyway

*Give the world the best you have, and it will never be enough;
Give the world the best you've got anyway.

*YOU SEE, IN THE FINAL ANALYSIS, IT IS BETWEEN YOU AND GOD:
IT WAS NEVER BETWEEN YOU AND THEM, ANYWAY.

HAPPY NEW YEAR!!

Okay everybody, here we go in another year! I love what President Monson had to say: *Have a positive attitude *Believe in yourself and *Face challenges with courage... to have the abundant life this year. Sometimes I like to make my resolutions around things that feel stressful in my life. For example- the hour before I leave for work and Matt gets home, is very stressful. I am trying to make dinner, get ready for work, and deal with a tired baby. Therefore I made some solutions to help make this a less stressful time in my day- (prepare dinner earlier, get ready before I pick up Keia from school etc). I also like to make resolutions that balance my life: a spiritual goal, a health goal, a family goal, work goal- you get the idea!!

Anywho- Happiest New Year everyone and lets make this one the best!
