Lose yourself in service-

I love great quotes that inspire me to want to do better and be better.  So, I thought I'd share.

This one is good...

Generally speaking, the most miserable people I know are those who are obsessed with themselves; the happiest people I know are those who lose themselves in the service of others...By and large, I have come to see that if we complain about life, it is because we are thinking only of ourselves." 
~ Gordon B. Hinckley

And of course, I can't post with out a picture. So I chose this of Taylor making a delicious meal for our family last Sunday!  She is working hard on one of her 10 hour projects for her young women personal project requirements.  




And this photo is from this past Monday at my cousins funeral.  It really has nothing to do with this post, except that I love my mom, she is the greatest example of loosing herself in service.
