Happy NEW YEAR!!!

Here's to a new year....new memories to create...new experiences...and new fun to be had. (Especially with our new addition. :) )

It's exciting to think of this beautiful blank slate of a year we have before us. It's our chance to create a wonderful new masterpiece with life experiences.

I love the final address of Elder Wirthlin and I hope to have a lot of laughter in this new masterpiece no matter what the circumstance. :)

'The next time you’re tempted to groan, you might try to laugh instead. It will extend your life and make the lives of all those around you more enjoyable. ... The way we react to adversity can be a major factor in how happy and successful we can be in life. ... As we look for humor, seek for the eternal perspective, understand the principle of compensation, and draw near to our Heavenly Father, we can endure hardship and trial. We can say, as did my mother, “Come what may, and love it.”'

-Joseph B. Wirthlin, “Come What May, and Love It,” Ensign, Nov 2008, 26–28


May this new year hold many blessings for you all!!
