President Monson talks about enjoying life and focusing on our relationships with the people around us, especially family:  <\/p>\n<blockquote><p>Stresses in our lives come regardless of our circumstances. We must deal with them the best we can. But we should not let them get in the way of what is most important\u2014and what is most important almost always involves the people around us. <!--more-->Often we assume that they must know how much we love them. But we should never assume; we should let them know. Wrote William Shakespeare, \u201cThey do not love that do not show their love.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>We will never regret the kind words spoken or the affection shown. Rather, our regrets will come if such things are omitted from our relationships with those who mean the most to us.<\/p>\n<p>Send that note to the friend you\u2019ve been neglecting; give your child a hug; give your parents a hug; say \u201cI love you\u201d more; always express your thanks. Never let a problem to be solved become more important than a person to be loved. . . .<\/p>\n<p>Let us relish life as we live it, find joy in the journey, and share our love with friends and family. <\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>President Monson talks about people who have enjoyed life and shared that joy with friends and family.
