'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

What shape are you?

Jessica (4yrs old): “Mommy, how come you are exercising?”

Me: "Because I want to get in shape."

Jessica: "What shape are you?"

Me: "Well, right now I am a circle but I want to be an hourglass."

Jessica: "Why don’t you want to be a circle?"

Me: "...because that means I’m fat."

Jessica: "Oh...guys don’t want to see you fat. Guys want to see you an hourglass."

-S. O.
