Almost purchased this gem...but then realized this is a well-known fact so no need to spell it out

Jess Berry Quote Of The Day!

Patience is not indifference. Actually, it means caring very much but being willing, nevertheless, to submit to ... what the scriptures call the "process of time".

Neal A. Maxwell 

Jess Berry Quote Of The Day!

That it will never come again, Is what makes life so sweet. 

Emily Dickinson

Jess Berry Quote Of The Day!

For a long time it seemed to me that life was about to begin - real life. But there was always some obstacle in the way, something to be gotten through first, some unfinished business, time still to be served, a debt to be paid.

At last it dawned on me that these obstacles were my life. This perspective has helped me to see there is no way to happiness. Happiness is the way.

So treasure every moment you have and remember that time waits for no one. Happiness is a journey, not a destination. 

Alfred D'Souza

Jess Berry Quote Of Life!

Theme of my life...

Why do we fall? So we might learn to pick ourselves up.

Jess Berry Quote of The Day!

Opportunity is missed by most people because it is dressed in overalls and looks like work. 

Thomas Edison

Jess Berry Quote Of The Day!

Courage is going from failure to failure without losing enthusiasm.

Winston Churchill

Jess Berry Quote of The Day!

Experience is what you get when you didn’t get what you wanted.  And experience is often the most valuable thing you have to offer. 

Randy Pausch, The Last Lecture

So very true...at least that is what I keep telling myself with each week, month, year that passes by. 

Jess Berry Quote of The Day!

The truth is that our finest moments are most likely to occur when we are feeling deeply uncomfortable, unhappy, or unfulfilled.  For it is only in such moments, propelled by our discomfort, that we are likely to step out of our ruts and start searching for different ways or truer answers.  

M. Scott Peck

Jess Berry Quote of The Day!

Sorrow comes in great waves...but it rolls over us, and though it may almost smother us it leaves us on the spot and we know that if it is strong, we are stronger, inasmuch as it passes and we remain. 

Henry James

Jess Berry Quote of The Day!

Don't worry about what you can change because you can change it and don't worry about what you can't change because you can't change it.

Wayne Dyer

Jess Berry Quote of The Day!

Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things that you didn't do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover.  


H. Jackson Brown Jr.

Good News: He Is Risen

This week as my chronic aches, pains, and fatigue seemed at moments unbearable I watched this video and it gave me a needed reality check. Christ chose to be sacrificed so that He could rise again, providing each of us the opportunity to obtain a resurrected body. 

D&C 138: 14 states: "All these had departed the mortal life, firm in the ^ahope of a glorious ^bresurrection, through the ^cgrace of God the ^dFather and his ^eOnly Begotten Son, Jesus Christ." 

This is my firm hope as well! I yearn for the glorious resurrection day made possible through our Savior, Jesus Christ. The beauty however in this mortal life is that we do struggle, that we have aches and pains, to help us remember how much we are in need of a Savior, of His Atonement, of His Resurrection.  For many in my age demographic the gift of the resurrection, of a perfected body may not seem very significant right now while you're in your "prime". One day, maybe this Easter when you ponder the Savior's sacrifice, maybe when your 50 years old and you're needing bifocals to read, maybe when you lose a loved to death, it will prick your heart how glorious this precious gift is now and will be when we receive it. How this knowledge that He Is Risen is truly the firm hope that will increase your capacity to handle your personal struggles and will give you the courage and strength in this brief moment of mortality to be happy amid the aches, pains, and fatigue that may plague your body and/or your heart.  This I know to be true, from the very depths of my soul. Look forward with an eye of faith and a hope in the Savior, Jesus Christ. 

Happy Easter!   

Never Give Up On Your Goals

Last December I posted on my December goals.  I met six of my seven goals that month. I failed miserably at my first goal: clean my inbox to ZERO. Well I might be four months behind but today I met my goal!! Woohoo (according to Gmail). I hope this zero unread emails last at least an hour... 

Just remember: Slow and steady wins the race! 

PS: Fridays are great! 5.5 days left HP. Burritos tonight with the Perrys and the Shoes. A little extra sleep and an whole apartment to myself. :) 

Happy Easter Weekend!

Words For Others To Live By*...

I kid not when I say I received an email with this line from JNS moments ago. 


"Anything for Jess Berry"


It just rolls off the tongue with such ease. Love it! Consider this my quote of the day, or the week, or the month. :) 


 *I am kidding that others should live by this. At least not 100 percent of the time. 

A Lesson For The Future Me One Day...

and for all you married folk that still read my blog. 

The Art of a Good Marriage by Wilferd Arlan Peterson

A good marriage must be created.

In the art of marriage the little things are the big things...

It is never being too old to hold hands.

It is remembering to say “I love you” at least once each day.

It is never going to sleep angry.

It is having a mutual sense of values and common objectives.

It is forming a circle of love that gathers in the whole family.

It is speaking words of appreciation and

demonstrating gratitude in thoughtful ways.

It is having the capacity to forgive and forget.

It is giving each other an atmosphere in which each can grow.

It is finding room for the things of the spirit.

It is a common search for the good and the beautiful.

It is not only marrying the right partner...

It is being the right partner.

Jess Berry Quote of The Day!

It’s wonderful to do something you love for so many years. Not everyone has that.
