Thought for the day . . .

Cycle 3 begins tomorrow. Meanwhile, Phil is doing AWESOME! He looks good, feels good, and is "in it to win it!"

This thought (which I posted on FB) has been a huge inspiration to me:

"No matter how difficult something you or a loved one faces, it should not take over your life and be the center of all your interest. Challenges are growth experiences, temporary scenes to be played out on the background of a pleasant life. Don’t become so absorbed in a single event that you can’t think of anything else or care for yourself or for those who depend upon you." -- Elder Richard G. Scott

I'm thankful to be reminded that even in the midst of adversity, life is good! In fact, adversity makes life even sweeter because we gain a better appreciation of things we take for granted. There's no better wake up call than a good hardship!
