Quotes I Live By

“There are cycles of good and bad times, ups and downs, periods of joy and sadness, and times of plenty as well as scarcity. When our lives turn in an unanticipated and undesirable direction, sometimes we experience stress and anxiety. One of the challenges of this mortal experience is to not allow the stresses and strains of life to get the better of us—to endure the varied seasons of life while remaining positive, even optimistic. Perhaps when difficulties and challenges strike, we should have these hopeful words of Robert Browning etched in our minds: 'The best is yet to be'"--L. Tom Perry

"It isn't as bad as you sometimes think it is. It all works out. Don't worry. I say that to myself every morning. It will all work out. If you do your best, it will all work out. Put your trust in God, and move forward with faith and confidence in the future. The Lord will not forsake us. He will not forsake us . . . If we will put our trust in Him, if we will pray to Him, if we live worthy of His blessings, He will hear our prayers."
--President Gordon B. Hinckley

"God the Eternal Father did not give [the] first great commandment because He needs us to love Him. His power and glory are not diminished should we disregard, deny or even defile His name. His influence and dominion extend through time and space independent of our acceptance, approval or admiration. . . No, God does not need us to love Him. But oh, how we need to love God! . . . For what we love determines what we seek. What we seek determines what we think and do. What we think and do determines who are--and who we will become." --President Uchtdorf

Green means...stop?

Is 19 too early to be losing your mind? Because I'm pretty sure I am. Today I was driving to the gym. Completely normal thing to do. I get to a stop light, and so I stop. I'm there for about oh..10 seconds, when all the sudden I notice that the light is yellow. At first I start to think "weird, I wonder when lights have started going from red to yellow." And then it dawned on me. I had stopped at a green light. There was one car next to me, but they were in the other turning lane so it didn't faze them that I wasn't going. But I'm sure anyone on the other side of the light around me must have thought I was crazy. Which I was. I'm still tryin to figure out why the heck I stopped. Yeesh.

Mars said...: I have done this before. In fact I have also turned left on a red arrow when the straight light was green. I think I stopped & then just went. Who knows. I often find myself spacing out when I drive. It relaxes & destresses me...sometimes too much! Maybe I'm just in my own world a lot haha; June 21, 2009 at 12:19 AM
