Anyone who imagines that bliss is normal
is going to waste a lot of time running around
shouting that he has been robbed.
The fact is that
most putts don't drop,
most beef is tough,
most children grow up to be just ordinary people,
most successful marriages
require a high degree of mutual toleration,
most jobs are more often dull than otherwise.
Life is just like an old time rail journey. . .
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."
Gordon B. Hinckley
Let's all enjoy the ride in 2009!
