I posted this recently:
It turns out that President Hinckley was quoting a Unitarian minister: Jenkin Lloyd Jones (and he never pretended otherwise). The full quote:
“Anyone who imagines that bliss is normal is going to waste a lot of time running around shouting that he has been robbed. The fact is that most putts don’t drop, most beef is tough, most children grow up to be just like people, most successful marriages require a high degree of mutual toleration, and most jobs are more often dull than otherwise. Life is just like an old time rail journey … delays, sidetracks, smoke, dust, cinders, and jolts, interspersed only occasionally by beautiful vistas and thrilling bursts of speed. The trick is to thank the Lord for letting you have the ride.”
I love it. And wisdom is wisdom, wherever you find it.
Now for my “not-bliss-but-not-bad” day: very lazy. Got up late; no knee pain.

Then a 2 mile walk. I averaged a lumbering 17 minutes per mile; I really kept it easy.
