Monday Morning Anecdote

"Work is an antidote for anxiety, and ointment for sorrow, and a doorway to possibility. Whatever our circumstances in life, my dear brethren, let us do the best we can and cultivate a reputation for excellence in all that we do. Let us set our minds and bodies to the glorious opportunity for work that each new day presents."

Dieter F. Uchtdorf, "Two Principles for Any Economy," Ensign, Nov. 2009, 56

I read this great quote first thing this morning and thought it was a perfect way to start the work week. There is my goal for the week...further cultivate my repuation for excellence.  I think the statement above is so very true.  I know the joy that comes from work and striving to be the best you can be. I can think of no better sleep then sleep I get after a hard days work; I can think of no better friends than the ones I have toiled with, and I can think of no better feeling than to say, "I gave everything I have. There is no more.".
