Day 40

Yesterday I visited a nursing home and talked to some lovely residents.
We have so much to learn from our elders.
One man had been married for 62 years.. I asked him how you do it. How do you make it work.
He paused thoughtfully..
He said

"Always be the first to say your sorry"

Day 38

I am asking that we stop seeking out the storms, and enjoy more fully the sunlight

Day 37

We cannot become who we need to be, by remaining what we are

- Max Dupree

Day 36

When you find yourselves a little gloomy, look around you and find somebody in a worse plight than yourself;
go to him and find out what the trouble is, then try to remove it with the wisdom which the Lord bestows upon you; and the first thing you know, your gloom is gone, you feel light, the Spirit of the Lord is upon you, and everything seems illuminated.

- Lorenzo Snow

Day 35

True happiness comes only by making others happy-
the practical application of the Savior's doctrine of loosing one's life to gain it.
In short, the Christmas spirit is the Christ spirit, that makes our hearts glow in brotherly love and friendship ad prompts us to kind deeds of service.

- David O. Mckay

Day 34

Of course there is no going back, but only forward. 

Rather than dwelling on the past, we should make the most of today, 

of the here and now, 

doing all we can to provide pleasant memories for the future

- Thomas S. Monson 

Day 33

After suitable rest and relaxation, there is not a day, hour or minute that we should spend in idleness, 

but every minute of every day of our lives 

we should strive to improve our minds and increase our faith in the holy gospel 

- Brigham Young 

Day 32

When we concern ourselves more with others,
there is less time to be concerned with ourselves!
In the midst of the miracle of serving, there is the promise of Jesus that by loosing ourselves, we find ourselves

Spencer W Kimball

Day 31

Its not even for us to be convinced of the gospel;
we must act and think, so that we are converted by it.
In contrast to the institutions of the world, which teach us to know something,
the gospel of Jesus Christ challenges us to become something

Dallin H. Oaks

Day 30

The simple secret is this:
put your trust in the Lord,
do your best, then leave the rest to Him

-Joseph B. Wirthlin

Day 29

There are three types of friends, 

the ones like food without whom you could not live, 

the medicine friends whom you need occasionally, 

and those like an illness, which you never want again. 

Day 28

"Our lives begin to end the day we become silent about things that matter."
— Martin Luther King Jr.

Celebrate the happiness that friends are always giving, make every day a holiday and celebrate just living!.
— Amanda Bradley

Day 26

Each morning when I open my eyes I say to myself: I — not events — have the power to make me happy or unhappy today. I can choose which it shall be. Yesterday is dead, tomorrow hasn't arrived yet. I have just one day, today, and I'm going to be happy in it.
— Groucho Marx

Day 25

Be who you are because the people who matter don't mind, and the people who mind don't matter

 - Dr. Seus

Day 24

A successful marriage requires falling in love many times, always with the same person.

-Unknown 

Day 23

Living is like tearing through a museum. Not until later do you really start absorbing what you saw, thinking about it, looking it up in a book, and remembering - because you can't take it in all at once.
Audrey Hepburn 

Day 22

It's that wonderful old-fashioned idea that others come first and you come second. This was the whole ethic by which I was brought up. Others matter more than you do, so 'don't fuss, dear; get on with it.'
Audrey Hepburn 

Day 21

I believe in pink. I believe that laughing is the best calorie burner. I believe in kissing, kissing a lot. I believe in being strong when everything seems to be going wrong. I believe that happy girls are the prettiest girls. I believe that tomorrow is another day and I believe in miracles.
Audrey Hepburn 

Day 20

For beautiful eyes, look for the good in others; for beautiful lips, speak only words of kindness; and for poise, walk with the knowledge that you are never alone.
Audrey Hepburn
