Today is the 335th day of the year. There are only 31 days left in the year 2008 and I am left wondering where this year went. It seems to have just flown by. I remember my mom telling me once that the years go faster the older you get. I didn't believe her, but then why would I? I was 18 and knew everything so she couldn't possibly be right. Turns out that she was right after all. It seems that I didn't know everything back when I knew it all.
Today I am thankful that the turning of a calendar page doesn't mean that time is up. That the sands have all run out. That tomorrow is not going to come. I am thankful for all the tomorrows that will allow me to do better. To be better. To give back to those that have given to and blessed my life.
And Matt, good job on your talk in Sacrament meeting today- even if you did quote a song by Cinderella. I love you son.
Indeed.

cinderella the movie or the band? and either way, I think I need some follow up details...
Cinderella the band. He was speaking on gratitude and he mentioned the song You Don't What you Got till it's Gone. He was talking about the fact that we have so much that we take for granted and so many people have next to nothing. He talked about his car, that he hates, that is falling apart but at least he has a car. He then went on and talked about the atonement and our gratitude for that and how we take it for granted as well and are not as appreciative as we should be.
