ME THINKS
some of my favorite quotes and thoughts...

“The challenges you face, the growth experiences you encounter, are intended to be temporary scenes played out on the stage of a life of continuing peace and happiness. Sadness, heartache, and disappointment are events in life. It is not intended that they be the substance of life. I do not minimize how hard some of these events can be. When the lesson you are to learn is very important, trials can extend over a long period of time, but they should not be allowed to become the confining focus of everything you do. Your life can and should be wondrously rewarding. It is your understanding and application of the laws of God that will give your life glorious purpose as you ascend and conquer the difficulties of life. That perspective keeps challenges confined to their proper place–stepping-stones to further growth and attainment.”—by Richard G. Scott

"Despite the changes which come into our lives, and with gratitude in our hearts, may we fill our days — as much as we can — with those things which matter most," President Monson said.

-------------------

"The way I see it, we only have one life. You just live it the best you can. Going back is not an option. Going forward is. It's never to late to go after what you've dreamed of-to earn a degree, to learn to sky dive. But sometimes we forget that when we go after our dreams, we have to give up something to get there. If the exchange is good then great. " Go for it.

-----------------------------------------
I love that because isn't it so true usually always to get to where we want to be there is always something we have to give up whether its time, money, talent, friends whatever it is its usually worth the exchange. Overcoming our challenges taking a step forward and learning growing changing, and making the best of what we have. Going forward everyday with faith, love and making memories each day despite what is thrown at us.

Realizing that the very most important things in this life is our families, our faith and our testimonies. Everything else could be taken away from me but my family and the others is what keeps me going what makes me happy and what helps me through each day, each stepping stone is worth crossing if its with my family and founded on my faith in my Saviour.

Isn't that the truth.

Live life to the fullest! Have a great week!
