When each day is the same as the next it's because people fail to recognize the good things that happen in their lives every day that the sun rises.

"Truly, life is beautiful.
Do you take time to discover each day how beautiful your life can be? How long has it been since you watched the sun set? The departing rays kissing the clouds, trees, hills, and lowlands good night, sometimes tranquilly, sometimes with exuberant bursts of color and form. What of the wonder of a cloudless night when the Lord unveils the marvels of His heavens—the twinkling stars, the moonlight rays—to ignite our imagination with His greatness and glory? How captivating to watch a seed planted in fertile soil germinate, gather strength, and send forth a tiny, seemingly insignificant sprout. Patiently it begins to grow and develop its own character led by the genetic code the Lord has provided to guide its development. With care it surely will become what it is destined to be: a lily, crowned with grace and beauty; a fragrant spearmint plant; a peach; an avocado; or a beautiful blossom with unique delicacy, hue, and fragrance. When last did you observe a tiny rosebud form? Each day it develops new and impressive character, more promise of beauty until it becomes a majestic rose."
-Finding Joy in Life,Elder Richard G. Scott
Every day is unique and beautiful, espeicially lately. I have been trying to make to most of every remaining moment before I head off to the MTC! WOW! July 6th is quickly approaching and the intensity of the anticipation is rising. But Nate, it has been my pleasure to know you. Farewell my friend.
