a summer weekend. my love for airstream trailers is undying. here is a good quote for us all. "a grateful heart will give you a touch of refinement that come come in no other way....i know some of you think you are on a tight budget, and you are. i am glad if you are. ...it isn't your fault that you have never been hungry in your life. it isn't your fault that somehow or other you have always been able to get a new pair of shoes, whether you needed them or not. it isn't your fault that you have at least five or six changes of clothing in your crowded closets. but all of this makes it doubly hard for you to be truly grateful. has the fear of not being able to get an education ever struck terror into your hear? probably not, for you knew that somehow or other you would get here and that somehow or other you will stay as long as you so desire, for this is america, where only your own indolence can keep you from the good things of life. and when you finally develop a little gratitude in your heart, make up your mind to express it. "appreciation unexpressed is not appreciation." if you can't find someone to say thank you to for something, just take a look at your toothbrush and say, 'thank you for being. you are a wondeful little gadget.' 'thank you is a wonderful phrase. use it. it will add stature to your soul. never let a day go by without saying thank you to someone for something, and especially to your Heavenly Father." -marjorie hinckley
