appreciated only in retrospect...

a little spiritual enlightenment for the week ahead...

This is from one of my favourite talks from the most recent general conference of my church -
"We shouldn't wait to be happy until we reach some future point, only to discover that happiness was already available—all the time! Life is not meant to be appreciated only in retrospect. “This is the day which the Lord hath made … ,” the Psalmist wrote. “Rejoice and be glad in it.”6
... No matter our circumstances, no matter our challenges or trials, there is something in each day to embrace and cherish. There is something in each day that can bring gratitude and joy if only we will see and appreciate it"  - Elder Dieter F. Uchtdorf
Pretty awesome hey?! Now what to you have to embrace and cherish about today?
In other news - it's officially summer weather which means plenty of these... i'm pretty excited.
