bliss

"Anyone who imagines that bliss is normal- is going to waste a lot of time running around shouting that he has been robbed. The fact is that most putts don't drop, most beef is tough, most children grow up to be just people, most successful marriages require a high degree of mutual toleration, and most jobs are more often dull than otherwise. Life is just like an old time rail journey with delays, sidetracks, smoke, dust, cinder, and jolts, interspersed occasionally by beautiful vistas and thrilling bursts of speed. The trick is to thank the Lord for letting you have the ride."---Pres. Gordon B. Hinckley

I read that quote on another blog recently and it just made me think that if even President Hinckley had those thoughts and feelings then my life is OK. Sometimes when I'm having those feelings, I think I'm doing things all wrong - that I'm all wrong. It was a real epiphany moment to think that this is what life is. And I am really grateful for the ride.
In other news, I liked the blind guy on American Idol but it was his time to go. I'm waiting for Gokey to pay the price for his smarmy confidence - at least bottom three.
This spring break will be a nice respite.
