"Mercies and blessings come in different forms--sometimes as hard things. Yet the Lord said, 'Thou shalt thank the Lord thy God in all things' (D&C 59:7). All things means just that: good things,difficult things--not just some things. He has commanded us to be grateful because He knows being grateful will make us happy. This is another evidence of His love."
(Bonnie D. Parkin, "Gratitude: A Path to Happiness," Ensign, May 2007, 35)

Thanks Jill. I need to be a lttle more grateful, even for the trials. They really do make us who we are meant to become.
I loved that talk. Thanks for the reminder. (Every 6 mo we get a new waterfall, right? =) So I sometimes froget the previous deluge.) And how cool that we both blog! I'm excited.
