"The kind of life you live, your disposition, your very nature, will be determined by your thoughts, of which your acts are but the outward expression. Thought is the seed of action."

--David O. McKay

A Little Day Trip...

I got the call yesterday about my appointment with the top Multiple Sclerosis Doctor at UCSF - it's going to be earlier than they thought - April 13th!! So...Royce and I are off to meet some smart docs and then on to eat some sour dough bread and clam chowder by the bay! Wish me luck :)

Chocolate Bunnies...

I just loved this picture. It made me feel like a kid again...biting off those ears would be just about the first thing I would do if I had one of those little guys here right now......

"While most of our suffering is self- inflicted, some is caused by or permitted by God. This sobering reality calls for deep submissiveness, especially when God does not remove the cup from us. In such circumstances, when reminded about the premortal shouting for joy as this life's plan was unfolded (Job 38:7), we can perhaps be pardoned if, in some moments, we wonder what all the shouting was about."

--Neal A. Maxwell

Compromise: The art of dividing a cake in such a way that everybody believes he got the biggest piece.

-Sherry Rothfield

"A pebble held close to the eye appears to be a gigantic obstacle. Cast on the ground, it is seen in perspective. Likewise, problems or trials in our lives need to be viewed in the perspective of scriptural doctrine. Otherwise they can easily overtake our vision, absorb our energy, and deprive us of the joy and beauty the Lord intends us to receive here on earth."

--Richard G. Scott

I've been busy making Easter Charms....my favorite part of the process...searching through old postcards!

Face your deficiencies and acknowledge them; but do not let them master you. Let them teach you patience, sweetness, insight.
-- Helen Keller (1880-1968) American Writer
