'The next time you’re tempted to groan, you might try to laugh instead. It will extend your life and make the lives of all those around you more enjoyable. ... The way we react to adversity can be a major factor in how happy and successful we can be in life. ... As we look for humor, seek for the eternal perspective, understand the principle of compensation, and draw near to our Heavenly Father, we can endure hardship and trial. We can say, as did my mother, “Come what may, and love it.”'

-Joseph B. Wirthlin, “Come What May, and Love It,” Ensign, Nov 2008, 26–28

The Seasons

Today Genevieve tells me:

"Mom, I know how the seasons work! There's a BIG flashlight that turns on, and it's daytime. Then it turns off, and it's night. There's a BIG watering can that makes the rain, and BIG ice cubes all crushed up make the snow. And BIG clouds blow the leaves off the trees". 
Me: "Where did you learn that"? 
Genny: <shrug> "I just made it up".
