"This too shall pass... Painfully, like a kidney stone, but remember it'll pass!"

"So much in life depends on our attitude. The way we choose to see things and respond to others makes all the difference. To do the best we can and then to choose to be happy about our circumstances, whatever they may be, can bring peace and contentment."
                                                         -Thomas S. Monson

I like this quote so much, because everything really is a choice.  We choose daily between letting something affect us for the good or for the bad.  When my dad passed away, after being told, my grandma said, "Well, we could do this good or we could do this bad."  Every situation gives you the choice.  It's up to you!

"The greatest test of faith is when you don't get what you want, but still you are able to say THANK YOU LORD"

I don't know who said this one, but when I saw it, I knew it was meant for me!  It was perfect timing!  It's a hard lesson to learn.  I'm sure that learning it once, isn't enough for me, I'll be going through something like this, again in my life, but I'm grateful that I can say that this applies to me!

"Until God opens the next door for you, praise Him in the hallway." -unknown

"What we love determines what we seek.  What we seek determines what we think and do.  What we think and do determines who we are and who we will become" -Deiter F. Uchtdorf

"Today will never come again.  Be a blessing.  Be a friend.  Encourage someone.  Take time to care.  Let your words heal and not wound."

"The Lord loves us and is mindful of us. He is always on our side as we do what is right. He will help us in time of need." -Thomas S. Monson

"Those who cannot change their minds cannot change anything." -George Bernard Shaw

"Pray with purpose.  Prayer is the provider of personal strength.  Prayer is the passport to peace.  Should we find ourselves in harm's way, our powerline is unbroken and undamaged- even to God, our Heavenly Father.  He will help us if we will but give Him in our lives an opportunity to do so." -Thomas S. Monson

"There comes a time in life, when you walk away from all the drama and people who create it.  Surround yourself with people who make you laugh, forget the bad, and focus on the good.  Love the people who treat you right.  Pray for the ones who don't.  Life is too short to be anything but happy.  Falling down is part of life, getting back up is living."

I like this one.  "Pray for the ones who don't." is something I'm going to work on.

"There are times when you simply have to righteously hang on & outlast the devil." -Ezra T. Benson

AMEN!!!

"Sometimes the strongest people are the ones who love beyond all faults, cry behind closed doors and fight battles that nobody knows about."

"If your prayers aren't being answered in the way you expect, they will be answered in a much better way, and it will be worth the wait." -Chris Williams
