" It's not gonna be easy, it's gonna be really hard. We're gonna have to work at this everyday but I want to do that because I want you. I want all of you, forever , you and me, every day." - The Notebook

You will never be content with what you have until you make peace with who you are.

"Life is short. So take too many pictures, blow your speakers, kiss at all the red lights, and pee your pants laughing. Because on day you'll stop and take a look back at the past, and at that moment you're gonna realize: it was so worth it."

You will have significant experiences. I hope that you will write them down and keep a record of them, that you will read them from time to time and refresh your memory of those meaningful and significant things. Some may be funny. Some may be significant only to you. Some of them may be sacred and quietly beautiful. Some may build one upon another until they represent a lifetime of special experience." Gordon B. Hinckley 

“Happiness comes of the capacity to feel deeply, to enjoy simply, to think freely, to risk life, to be needed.” ― Storm Jameson

"I have two choices. I can choose to be happy or I can choose to be sad. I choose to be happy."

-Marjorie Pay Hinckley

I climbed up the door and opened the stairs,

Said my pajamas and put on my prayers,

Then I turned off the bed and crawled into the light

All because you kissed me goodnight!

"When one is striding bravely into the future, one cannot watch one's footing."

"Mortality is a period of testing, a time to prove ourselves worthy to return to the presence of our Heavenly Father. In order to be tested, we must sometimes face challenges and difficulties. At times there appears to be no light at the tunnel's end--no dawn to break the night's darkness. We feel surrounded by the pain of broken hearts, the disappointment of shattered dreams, and the despair of vanished hopes. We join in uttering the biblical plea "Is there no balm in Gilead?" We are inclined to view our own personal misfortunes through the distorted prism of pessimism. We feel abandoned, heartbroken, alone. If you find yourself in such a situation, I plead with you to turn to our Heavenly Father in faith. He will lift you and guide you. He will not always take your afflictions from you, but He will comfort and lead you with love through whatever storm you face." ~ Pres. Thomas S. Monson

"The Lord compensates the faithful for every loss. That which is taken away from those who love the Lord will be added unto them in His own way. While it may not come at the time we desire, the faithful will know that every tear today will eventually be returned a hundredfold with tears of rejoicing and gratitude."--Elder Joseph B. Wirthlin

"The gospel of Jesus Christ is not a form of "insurance" against pain and suffering. It is simply a whisper at the end of the day: Your losses will be made up to you."

"I don't want to drive up to the pearly gates in a shiny sports car, wearing beautifully, tailored clothes, my hair expertly coiffed, and with long, perfectly manicured fingernails.

I want to drive up in a station wagon that has mud on the wheels from taking kids to scout camp.

I want to be there with a smudge of peanut butter on my shirt from making sandwiches for a sick neighbors children.

I want to be there with a little dirt under my fingernails from helping to weed someone's garden.

I want to be there with children's sticky kisses on my cheeks and the tears of a friend on my shoulder.

I want the Lord to know I was really here and that I really lived."
