Let us relish life as we live it, find joy in the journey, and share our love with friends and family.

President Monson's talk during the Sunday morning session of the 2008 Oct. General Conference of our church was entitled Joy in the Journey (sound familiar? Look at the top of my blog) You can go here to read if you haven't already. Or if you have, read it again- it's excellent.

And a quick little poem I like (author unknown!?!)

"Be sure you are right, and then stand.
At first, you will be denounced, and then you will be deified.
At first, you will be rejected, then you will be accepted.
First, men will swear at you, then if you wear well, they will swear by you.
First the sneer, then the cheer.
First the lash, then the laurel.
First the curse, then the caress.
First the trial, then the triumph.
First the cross, then the crown.
For every scar upon they brow, thou shalt have a star in thy diadem.
Stand somewhere and let humanity know where you stand.
Stand for something and let humanity know what you stand for.
Be sure you are right and then STAND."
