I saw the following quote posted on the wall at my dentist office this morning. (Yes I know, "only in Utah") It think it's one of my new favorites:
"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 like people, most successful marriages require a high degree of mutual toleration, and 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
I sure miss him sometimes.

I love it! Thanks for posting it. Hope to see you Wednesday!
That is a great quote.
It amuses me that you found it in the dentist's office. It's like the dentist is saying: "This guy that you likely know and respect thinks you should just chill and stop whining about the drill I'm about to inflict upon you. You should be thankful for modern dentistry and be glad I'm not going to have to pull that tooth."
Amen. I needed this after the month I've had...
