My photo
Every morning I wake up with a head full of things to do. I scramble around trying to put them in lists of importance all while trying to keep the peace within my little brood (trying to recall everything I've learned and read about parenting at the same time.) I love being a wife and the quirks that come with having my man forever. I love to be creative and thrive on crossing off my to do list. I strive to find balance and put first things first which brings me PEACE & JOY and allows me to sleep so much easier when I do. I think that one of the secrets to being HAPPY in life is to find that balance. I'm learning how to be kinder to myself and learning patience in progress. Everyday, through the thick and thin of life I'm trying to turn my heart towards heaven and remember what's really important.Oh, and I love to eat, so much so that I love to exercise too.

Snow Day



 
Jeff and the kids stayed home from their duties today.
It's pretty nasty outside.
Frozen rain on top of snow.
 
I was thinking,
a blanket of snow brings commonality to the world.
Most weather does.
I had to go out yesterday.
I was trying to get around
 along with everyone around me.
 Living still happens even when its
cold,
wet,
icy,
dangerous.
I had to get help with my cart of groceries.
Couldn't get them out to the van without a good Samaritan.
She pulled and I pushed.
I thanked her over and over again.
Having something in common makes people more loving.
I wish I could cover the world in my own "blanket of snow".
 So many commonalities are gone these days.
Manners,
Good language,
Chastity.
Living on one income.
The one income thing has been on my mind.
Stuff would be cheaper,
if we all wanted less.
 
Just my thoughts.
So happy to be warm.
So happy to be home.

    That is beautiful! I love it. Things ARE cheaper when we want less. I just love this talk: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HMYD0dQ_tw0. Elder Hales. Great talk. I shared it earlier this month with someone but I forgot who. Check it out.

    Oh Kim, I really love this post. It's beautifully written, and pretty much perfect!

    Sorry, I missed your call the other day. I'll call you on Monday once our kids are back to school so we can catch up!
