If I could have a thousand days as perfect as this one, I'd be a thousand days happy.
Dad, fishing at sunset.
“Anyone who imagines that bliss is normal is going to waste a lot of time running around shouting that he’s 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, most jobs are more often dull than otherwise. Life is like an old time rail journey--delays, sidetracks, smoke, dust, cinders, and jolts, interspersed only occasionally by beautiful vistas and thrilling bursts of speed. The trick is to thank the Lord for letting you have the ride.”
~ Jenkins Lloyd Jones, as quoted by Gordon B. Hinckley
(I've heard a couple variations on this quote, and it's often falsely attributed to Hinckley, so I hope this is correct.)
