Corny perhaps that I'm posting this, but apparently I needed this reminder.
Elder Neal A Maxwell of the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles taught: "Murmuring can...be noisy enough that it drowns out the various spiritual signals to us, signals which tell us in some cases to quit soaking ourselves indulgently in the hot tubs of self-pity! Murmuring over the weight of our crosses not only takes energy otherwise needed to carry them but might cause another to put down his cross altogether" Elder Maxwell offered this alternative to murmuring: "Being of good cheer is what is needed, and being of good cheer is equally contagious. We have clear obligations to so strengthen each other by doing things 'with cheerful hearts and countenances.'"

That is a GOOD one!
I am going to print this one. And it's going into a frame for the wall.
It's all right Kammers, there are also messages about needing the support of those around you, and being human means sometimes you just need to vent, its healthy. Hope things start lookin up.
Darn, I guess I really needed to hear that. Thanks.
:)
