What are the things that help you look at the world and the life around you in a positive light? What stories or scriptures remind you of the value of simple optimism? For me, I like spending time with my family. Especially when we're all enjoying a good story--something uplifting--scripture time's g...

All of you busting your hump for the man. Dealing with clueless managers, or impossible public, or annoying coworkers.

I have been struggling to fully appreciate the Relief Society in my new ward. And now I'm teaching in Primary so it would be really easy to just completely disconnect. I'd rather not, though. I'd like to remember all the things I love about Relief Society or at least what I have loved since I am strugglin...

Ok, Polly is feeling sick AND pithy today folks so I think she needs a little strength. It's bad enough that she has to deal with all the kids at home and then she has the courage and fortitude to come and deal with all the crazies here on Bountiful. (And I sincerely mean that in a good way BTW.) She was ment...

Over the past few weeks, I've read some truly heart-breaking stories at FLAK and NOM of those who, for whatever reason, have decided to leave the church. I'd like to celebrate the joy that comes when family and friends join the church. I invite you to share your stories here. I'll start. Several year...

Well, this forum has more than a enough love to go around. So I thought I would start one for, Nita. I think she does important work being in the occupational therapist field and working with the elderly. She has a great deal of empathy. She provides a lot of good advice for those in need. I could go on b...

First of all, thank you Hiccups for your absolutely inspired post on the WWJD thread. I've been grieving. And I'm pretty close to acceptance. So from that frame of mind, I think I now can give something of worth to my friends. I've been insensitive, at times abrasive, and disrespectful of your chall...

No one gossips about other people's secret virtues. - Bertrand Russell I was thinking, what if you just called up one of your gossipy neighbors and did precisely what Mr. Russell claims never happens. I think that'd be fun... I think I'll have to try it out today. :) --Ray

The Other Side of Heaven by Bro. Groberg, got it at Deseret Book a few months ago, for pretty cheap...

We've been reading parts of it aloud as a family on Sundays and it has held the c...

Roper's comment about cooking during GC prompted this thread: When Casi and I got married, I could barely make toast. She taught me to cook and now I cook more often than she does. I really enjoy it.

So yesterday I delivered Sister Roper to the airport for her annual trip to Utah to visit family and friends. This time it's different, though.
