Quote:

Despite the changes which come into our lives and with gratitude in our hearts, may we fill our days-as much as we can-with those things which matter most. May we cherish those we hold dear and express our love to them in word and in deed.”

–Thomas S. Monson, “Finding Joy in the Journey,”, Liahona, Nov 2008, 84-87
