Saw this while driving yesterday in Blackfoot. It made me wish for a moment that I could be the person giving directions to my home, saying: "You'll come to a perched porta-potty on the corner. Take a left there, and follow it down..."

Who doesn't love seeing an outhouse in place of a street sign? Not to mention, I took this photo with my new blackberry. And that made me proud! I'm learning so much about my new phone. :)

"if we have no peace, it is because we forget we belong to each other." -mother theresa
"i have searched frantically for contentment for so many years in so many different ways and all these acquistions and accomplishments--they run you down in the end. life, if you keep chasing it so hard, will drive you to death. time--when pursued like a bandit--will behave like one: always remaining one country or one room ahead of you, changing its name and hair color to elude you, slipping out the back door of the motel just as you're banging through the lobby with your newset search warrant, leaving only a burning cigarette in the ashtray to taunt you. at some point you have to stop because it won't. you have to admit that you can't catch it. that you're not supposed to catch it. at some point you gotta let go and sit still and allow contentment to come to you." -elizabeth gilbert
"a chief event of life is the day in which we have encountered a mind that startled us."
“our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. it is our light, not our darkness that most frightens us. we ask ourselves, who am i to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, fabulous? actually, who are you not to be? you are a child of god. your playing small does not serve the world. there is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won't feel insecure around you. we are all meant to shine, as children do. we were born to make manifest the glory of god that is within us. it's not just in some of us; it's in everyone. and as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others.”-marianne williamson
"this moment contains all moments"
"people are often unreasonable, irrational, and self-centered. forgive them anyway.if you are kind, people may accuse you of selfish, ulterior motives. be kind anyway.if you are successful, you will win some unfaithful friends and some genuine enemies. succeed anyway.if you are honest and sincere people may deceive you. be honest and sincere anyway.what you spend years creating, others could destroy overnight. create anyway.if you find serenity and happiness, some may be jealous. be happy anyway.the good you do today, will often be forgotten. do good anyway.give the best you have, and it will never be enough. give your best anyway.in the final analysis, it is between you and God. it was never between you and them anyway."-on mother theresa’s wall in calcutta, india
"this institution will be based upon the illimitable freedom of the human mind. for here we are not afraid to follow truth wherever it may lead, nor to tolerate any error so long as reason is left free to combat it" -thomas jefferson
"to laugh often and much, to win the respect of intelligent people and the affection of children; to earn the appreciation of honest critics and endure the betrayal of false friends; to appreciate beauty; to find the best in others; to leave the world a bit better, whether by a healthy child, a garden patch or a redeemed social condition; to know even one life has breathed easier because you have lived. this is to have succeeded."-ralph waldo emerson
“Brethren [and sisters], shall we not go on in so great a cause? Go forward and not backward. Courage, brethren; and on, on to the victory!” D&C 128:22
