Michael Buble song:

I'm not surprised, not everything lasts
I've broken my heart so many times, I stopped keeping track
Talk myself in, I talk myself out
I get all worked up, then I let myself down

I tried so very hard not to lose it
I came up with a million excuses
I thought, I thought of every possibility

And I know someday that it'll all turn out
You'll make me work, so we can work to work it out
And I promise you, kid, that I give so much more than I get
I just haven't met you yet

I might have to wait, I'll never give up
I guess it's half timing, and the other half's luck
Wherever you are, whenever it's right
You'll come out of nowhere and into my life

And I know that we can be so amazing
And, baby, your love is gonna change me
And now I can see every possibility

This isn't the whole song, but I just love it. School starts on Monday and I'm sitting at home writing a talk for church tomorrow while I wait for my sweetheart to get home from work. Life is good.

Today

Some days things pile up until I feel 100 years old. And then I have to remind myself that I'm only barely creeping up on 20. I know that everyone older than me reading this is laughing at me, but you know you've been there. Days like this I start out by pouting and feeling sorry for myself, then I progress to anger that things don't work out the way I want, and then regret for not loving each day of my life the way I should. Today I have been thinking about our Prophet-Thomas S. Monson and the wisdom and faith that he constantly shows.


"On occasion we need to make a second effort - and a third effort, and a fourth effort, and as many degrees of effort as may be required to accomplish what we strive to achieve"

"The principles of living greatly include the capacity to face trouble with courage, disappointment with cheerfulness, and trial with humility"

"Don't save something for a special occasion. Every day of your life is a special occasion"

-President Thomas S. Monson
