Today.

Today, I went to the Temple with my FHE brothers, who are arguably the best freshmen boys in the whole world.

Today, I thought of how much I love my family.

. . . and how much I miss them.

. . . And how much life changes.

And I came to the conclusion that the most difficult changes in life are the ones you know are coming your way. Knowing in advance how different life will be because of these changes just makes them a little harder to confront. Plus, because I know about them, I have the agency to do whatever I can to stop them. But since I trust that everything will work out, I don't try to stop them. I let them come. And that's the hardest part. Then again, that doesn't mean they're bad changes. In fact, they could be the best ones yet. It's just hard to accept the fact that life changes. . . constantly. I try to be brave, I really do. And I try to go on even when life is changing. It's all about faith, and as Anne puts it, "The sun will go on rising whether I fail in geometry or not."

Today, I fell asleep in the library while I was typing on the computer. I'm sure the boy sitting next to me was surprised to see my head suddenly drop to the keyboard.

Today, somebody special texted me when he saw me walk out of the library. Then he wished me a good day :)

Today, my mom told me she loved me and wanted to take me to lunch on Thursday. Oh, it was a great day after that.

Today in my nutrition class, I dropped a peanut down my shirt, and everyone behind me watched as I tried to figure out how on earth to get it out of there.

Today, I ate two pieces of my mom's homemade bread, and it was divine. :)

Today, I walked up the stairs to my dorm thinking about how important it is to be optimistic, and that despite the fact the world tells you to not be, you can be. Don't be discouraged, I told myself.

But it's alright because the only thing I need to worry about is today. Today is sufficient - don't worry about tomorrow because, as President Monson said, we need to "Seek heavenly guidance one day at a time."

So, how am I today?

Well, in the words of my dear friend, I'm having the best day of my life :)

. . . until tomorrow.

:)

Love, Sunshine.
