Just wanted to add an extra "What Matters Most" post as my heart is quite heavy today and my mind needs the encouragement to think positively.

I've already followed this advice (more than once) - "When life gets to hard to stand, kneel."
From President Thomas S. Monson, comes this great message - Living the Abundant Life
"A in my ABCs refers to attitude. William James, a pioneering American psychologist and philosopher, wrote, “The greatest revolution of our generation is the discovery that human beings, by changing the inner attitudes of their minds, can change the outer aspects of their lives.”
So much in life depends on our attitude. The way we choose to see things and respond to others makes all the difference. To do the best we can and then to choose to be happy about our circumstances, whatever they may be, can bring peace and contentment.
Charles Swindoll—author, educator, and Christian pastor—said: “Attitude, to me, is more important than … the past, … than money, than circumstances, than failures, than successes, than what other people think or say or do. It is more important than appearance, giftedness, or skill. It will make or break a company, a church, a home. The remarkable thing is we have a choice every day regarding the attitude we will embrace for that day.”
We can’t direct the wind, but we can adjust the sails. For maximum happiness, peace, and contentment, may we choose a positive attitude."
His message continues with;
B is for believe—in yourself, in those around you, and in eternal principles.
C is for courage..., courage to face whatever challenges may come our way.
