"savor even the seemingly ordinary times..."

"Patience helps us to use, rather than to protest, these seeming flat periods of life, becoming filled with quiet wonder over the past and with anticipation for that which may lie ahead, instead of demeaning the particular flatness through which we may be passing at the time. We should savor even the seemingly ordinary times, for life cannot be made up all of kettledrums and crashing cymbals. There must be some flutes and violins. Living cannot be all crescendo; there must be some dynamic contrast."

- Neal A. Maxwell


I feel like I am always happy after quiet Liz time...pondering does that to me. :) Tonight I am "filled with quiet wonder over the past and ... anticipation for that which may lie ahead."
