"It is not the ctitic who counts: not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles or where the doer of deeds could have done better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood, who strives valiantly, who errs and comes up short again and again, because there is no effort without error or shortcoming, but who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotions, who spends himself for a worthy cause; who, at best, knows, in the end, the triumph of high achievement, and who, at the worst, if he fails, at least he fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who knew neither victory nor defeat."

Beautiful Sunday

~Curiosity is only vanity. Most frequently we wish not to know, but to talk. We would not take a sea voyage for the sole pleasure of seeing without hope of ever telling.
~Blaise Pascal

Ah! Beautiful day! I'm just gonna try to enjoy it while it lasts :)

So, I was driving back to Provo this morning and wishing I had my camera with me and could just take a million pictures! It was so beautiful. I drove past the Oquirrh Mountain Temple and it was white against the blueish-purple snow-covered mountains. And right before I got on the freeway I looked over to see the Jordan River Temple-the only thing poking up from that area of the valley against the pink smeared horizon...

It was a bright, crisp, winter morning. And the sun was shining over the mountain. Totally worth dodging around trying to stay in the shadow of my visor. And at times I was the only car on the road. I couldn't see anyone the stretch in front of me or behind me. It just made my day :)
