Inspiration

One of my friends shared this clip on facebook, and it really moved me. What an inspiration she is!
This is what life is really about!




Life



Lately I have been so preoccupied with life, that it feels like I've forgotten how to enjoy living it. As much as I enjoy school, it has taken up so much of my energy and I've been feeling guilty for not having enough patience with my kids, for not being able to keep up with all of the housework and for not taking better care of my spirit. I've even been feeling guilty for not writing here more often. With only two more school assignments to go before the summer, I'm beginning to see the light at the end of the tunnel.
I'm looking forward to spending more time with my family this summer. I'm going to try really hard to let go of all of the musts and shoulds and enjoy being a mother and a wife. I'm also going to put the Gospel back where it needs to be in my life. I miss going to the Temple regularly and making scripture study part of my daily routine even if it only is for a few minutes.

I am so grateful for my family and for their love for me even when I least deserve it. I love watching my kids grow and develop every day. They are such amazing little people! I truly look up to each and every one of them, and feel blessed to be able to call myself their mother. Yesterday, as we were getting ready to go to Church, the kids almost got upset with each other because they all wanted to help me carry something to the car. Things like that don't happen every day, but I realize that I need to appreciate it more when they do. I know that when I try to focus on the sweet moments of every day, they seem to grow in number.

Life is good!
