Festival Of Colors

Last Saturday was the "Festival of Colors" at the Hari Krishna temple in Spanish Fork. It is an Indian ritual which announces the arrival of spring and the passing of winter. Thousands of people--mostly teenagers and college kids--gather together to sing, dance, and throw packets of brightly colored powder at each other. I'm glad Rachel and Braden had the opportunity to go, and that they brought home such cute pictures for me to post!

Say "YES"!

My Creed

*To be so strong that nothing can disturb my peace of mind.

*To talk health, happiness and prosperity to every person I meet.

*To make all my associates feel that there is something worthwhile in them.

*To look at the sunny side of everything and make my optimism come true.

*To think only the best, to work only for the best, and to expect only the best.

*To be just as enthusiastic about the success of others as I am about my own.

*To forget the mistakes of the past and press on to the greater achievements of the future.

*To wear a cheerful expression at all times and give a smile to every living creature I meet.

*To give so much time to improving myself that I have no time to criticize others.

*To be too secure for worry, too noble for anger, too strong for fear, and too happy to permit the presence of trouble.

*To think well of myself and to proclaim this fact to the world, not in loud words, but in small deeds.

*To live in the faith that the whole world is on my side, so long as I am true to the best that is in me.
