I’m going down to Calgary with my dad and stepmom to visit extended family. I’m looking forward to it for the most part, but my grandma sometimes can be really mean. She’ll criticize my weight, for example. I’m hoping she’s nice this weekend.

It is said an Eastern monarch once charged his wise men to invent him a sentence, to be ever in view, and which should be true and appropriate in all times and situations. They presented him the words: "And this, too, shall pass away." How much it expresses! How chastening in the hour of pride! How consoling in the depths of affliction!
