Today

I have been thinking about how I view my life lately. I am very critical of myself and sometimes that causes me sorrow. In reality I have a wonderful life, a husband who loves me and I love dearly, great kids, a wonderful family, a home I love, friends that would be there for me no matter what, and the gospel of Jesus Christ. My birthday was last week and I promised myself that I would not dwell on the things that I haven't accomplished yet, but focus on the the things that matter. Graydon took the day off of work(because he is a smart man) and I savored being able to sleep in, being able to go to the movies and hold hands with the man that I love, having kids that were so excited because it was my birthday, and just enjoying the peace of the day. In church on Sunday one of the speakers was talking about how we view tomorrow. He said we should stop looking forward to tomorrow because it will be better, or we will have more money, or we will weigh less, but to be happy today. That is something that I will be trying to focus on this year. Thank you to all of my wonderful friends who are such a great example of service and love, to my husband who is a great example of forgiveness and compassion, and to my kids who are a great example of taking pleasure in the small things. Here is to a great today!
