A future blessing

“There are some years in our lives that we would not want to live again. But even these years will pass away, and the lessons learned will be a future blessing.” - Marjorie Pay Hinckley

There's a lot of years I'd never wish to relive. But one in my mid 30s was the best teacher I ever had. I hated that journey but am forever grateful for where it put me.

Sites worth checking out

Daily OM - I get their daily inspiration email. It's a quick read and nice reminder to refocus if my day is getting overloaded.

Beliefnet - I bookmarked their Wellness section. There's interesting articles for the mind and body.

Learn to Meditate podcast - I downloaded all of their guided meditations to my ipod. There's a lot of food for thought here.
