Maladjustment

A quote that has been running through my head for the past few weeks:

"... there are certain things in our nation and in the world which I am proud to be maladjusted and which I hope all men of good-will will be maladjusted until the good societies realize." -- Martin Luther King, Jr.

I'm curious. Are there things the world considers normal to which you are grateful to be maladjusted? What are they?

Learning To Be Content

"We women have a lot to learn about simplifying our lives. We have to decide what is important and then move along at a pace that is comfortable for us. We have to develop the maturity to stop trying to prove something. We have to learn to be content with what we are." -- Marjorie Pay Hinckley

That last sentence especially speaks to me. Isn't that huge? To learn to be content with what you are, where you are, what point you're at in your eternal progress?

Tools

"Men have become the tools of their tools."

Henry David Thoreau

Dear Mr. Thoreau,

How do you manage to always get to the heart of the matter and to be SO right SO often?

Trust me, you have no idea how right you are on this one. You didn't even live to see the computer age.

Thanks for the reminder. I'm fighting the good fight, trying to let my computer be a tool for me rather than the other way around.
