Every day a “special occasion”

Every day has a new beginning, a new blessing, and a new hope. that is God's gift to us.

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

Thomas S. Monson

"Life offers you two precious gifts—one is time, the other freedom of choice, the freedom to buy with your time what you will. You are free to exchange your allotment of time for thrills. You may trade it for base desires. You may invest it in greed. Yours is the freedom to choose. But these are no bargains, for in them you find no lasting satisfaction. Every day, every hour, every minute of your span of mortal years must sometime be accounted for." 

D. Todd Christofferson

"Today is a gift—that's why we call it the present." Both notice and enjoy the special moments of life. Resist the temptation to get caught up in frantic activity. Slow down a little, steady the course, focus on the significant, and truly see the things that matter most." Relish life as you live it. Treasure the time you have been given as a gift, and make every day of your life a "special occasion."

Dieter F. Uchtdorf 

"We live through each part of our lives only once. We don't go back. So, instead of wishing that any part of it were over, instead of living always for something that is never now...we should find some sweetness and accomplishment and compensation in every hour."
