Time flies.....

Time seems to be moving more quickly than I can keep up with! I haven't posted Christmas pictures and we are already past Easter! With each new day I wake up with a renewed sense of enthusiasm about what I can accomplish...then as each day passes by I take note of all that is left undone! So I was taking a break from my to do list and reading blogs (could that be why I don't accomplish all I want to? Nah.) when I came across this quote from a friend's blog. Thanks Katy! I think it's a great reminder of what is truly important in this life. So i've made a new committment to stop worrying about all the unfinished tasks like holidays I haven't posted about and start focusing on my family and my relationship with my Heavenly Father. I need to be better about appreciating the here and now. Because it won't be too long before I wake up one day and my kids are grown and gone...(now that's a sad thought to end on!) So I'll end with the quote:
Quote of the Week
“Now is the time for each of us to work toward our personal conversion, toward becoming what our Heavenly Father desires us to become. As we do so, we should remember that our family relationships—even more than our Church callings—are the setting in which the most important part of that development can occur. The conversion we must achieve requires us to be a good husband and father or a good wife and mother. Being a successful Church leader is not enough. Exaltation is an eternal family experience, and it is our mortal family experiences that are best suited to prepare us for it.”-Dallin H. Oaks
