Live In the Moment

And I wish I could remember what we ate, and what we talked about, and how they sounded, and how they looked when they slept that night. I wish I had not been in such a hurry to get on to the next thing: dinner, bath, book, bed. I wish I had treasured the doing a little more and the getting it done a little less” (Elder Ballard’s talk May, 2008 quote by Author Anna Quindlen speaking of her children)

- I put this on here to remind me to take time to enjoy the little things in life, or to enjoy the moments that make some of Life's Precious Memories.

Motherhood

The following quote comes from Elder Robert D. Hales from BYU Education Week.

"My dear sisters, don't ever sell yourselves short as a mother or as a woman," he said. With emotion in his voice, he said it "never ceases to amaze me that the world would state that being a mother is a form of servitude which does not allow a woman to develop her gifts and talents.

"Nothing, absolutely nothing could be further from the truth. ... Do not let the world define, denigrate or limit your feelings of the lifelong learning values of motherhood in the home, both here in mortality and eternally."

It's just nice to have a reminder now and then. I don't feel like I need it right now, but the next time I do, I'll just have to look at my blog :)
