I have been thinking about what word I would like to choose for my word to reflect on throughout the year and I have decided on
PERSEVERANCE...I love to think about all the people who have been so faithful and diligent in their lives..The Pioneers who never gave up in spite of all there difficulties they faced. Joseph Smith and for his knowledge and determination to restore the Gospel on Earth. For, the men and women who serve and fight for our Country. I think about my dear Grandma Hogle who worked so very hard to support her family and for all her many many talents. She is a great example to me. I think about my very own mother who through difficult times raised her children with love, kindness, and is the most unselfish person I know. I could go on, but this is a word that means so much to me and I will reflect upon this and try to better myself throughout the year.

Here is a quote I love:
"Perseverance means to continue in a given course until we have reached a goal or objective, regardless of obstacles, opposition, and other counter influences...Perseverance is a positive, active characteristic...It gives us hope by helping us realize that the righteous suffer no failure except in giving up and no longer trying." ..Joseph B. Wirthlin
