Watch update: This too shall pass.

Aaaand, because I trusted my elders quorum president, I no longer have a new watch.  (He also steals ties.) And, somehow all of my watches have conspired to die at the same time.  I'm currently using the pocketwatch that Elder Bingham left behind.  Not nearly as cool.

Still, life goes on.  It kind of reminds me of a story from Persian poetry.  There was once a king who had almost everything.  He charged his wise men to make him a ring that would make him happen when sad, and sad when happy.  They returned, and gave him a ring engraved "This, too, shall pass."

It's so true.  When we're feeling down, or when we feel like we just can't go on, all we need to do is remember that "This too shall pass."

And now, something completely unexpected when I searched "This too shall pass" in Google.
