Joy in the Journey
"Let us relish life as we live it, find joy in the journey, and share our love with friends and family. One day each of us will run out of tomorrows"
~President Thomas S. Monson~
Wow.. it's been awhile since i've blogged! But I seriously feel like I need to tonight. I have so much going on in my mind. I'm sure most of you have noticed the amazing tributes on facebook to class members who have passed away over the years.. As i'm going through them all and remembering everyone, (and noticing many I didn't even know passed) I can't help but feel so sad.. and blessed. I've started wondering why?? There are so many people.. women and mothers.. who did so much more and were such better people than I am. Why am I still here and they are gone? Leaving their children and husbands behind..
I'm sure a lot of you are with me when you say sometimes you feel like you take things for granted. Like the fact that you get to see your sweet babies everyday. You get to hold them and hear them tell you how much they love you. From now on, I am not taking anything for granted. I am going to hug my kids more.. read to them when they ask me (every time).. lay with them when they are falling asleep.. play with them outside when they beg.. get them a bandade and kiss it even though I don't see an owee :) Just come to them whenever they say "mommy" and be the best mom to them that I can possibly be.
Anyway, as I was reading about everyone I came across a blog that truly touched me in so many ways. I don't even know this girl and now I feel like I do. Even her amazing family who obviously never let a second go by without thinking about her. It makes me wonder what my family and friends would have to say about me when i'm gone? So it really inspires me to be a better person. You should check it out...
