"Negativity reinforces itself until we see ourselves as sorry creatures with few abilities or gifts. But understanding that there will be problems throughout life diminishes pressure and allows us growing room as we work our way toward our goals...to dwell on our problems is to restrict our growth and guarantee more stumbling than necessary. When we are busy juggling all the “should be’s,” we don’t have time or energy to get on with the doing."

--Mildred Barthel, “Happiness along the Way,” Ensign, Apr 1987, 42

  1. That's a nice quote, Amber. Just what I needed today... been having some "down" days lately, for whatever reason. Now I'm trying to snap out of it. I occasionally check in on your blogs, because I love to see darling Faye and Calvin. Plus I like your positive attempts here!
