To Cope with the Mundane.
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 ordinary 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.

This quotes helped me alot. Life is not so much lowering expectations as it is insuring we have the most correct and noble ones we can have.

Your quote rules! We cannot expect life to be constantly the way we like it. Although idealism is beautiful that we dare dream and strive to gain something more out of life, it does make us unhappy unsatisfied people if we can't attain the things we want.
So, the real question is...Who are you?? I surely appreciate your comment...but after attending to your what, six blogs?? I have no idea who you are. Maybe I should have read the entries...but that would have taken a century. That almost rhymes. OKAY...so...lemme know. Lates
You said you wanted to know "who" I am. I'm a 25 year old kid in Utah, a member of the LDS Church (often known as the 'Mormon' Church). I'll likely be heading back to school this fall after an almost two year hiatus. I have seven sisters and a brother. I'm a news and history junkie. I can't really say exactly "who" I am because I don't trust the forum provided in these blogs, or the internet in general.
hi,
your words are rather profound.
just a note to say thanks for commenting on my post, for most of my friends don't even bother.
thanks~
