I HAVE SO MUCH TO TELL YOU!
{I really do!}
{I really do!}
Last week was a very stressful week for me. It was just a lot of pressure to get stuff done for LHS, and then I had a final to study for, a 1700 word paper to write and my part of a team paper. On top of that preparing a talk for sacrament meeting AND my monthly Relief Society lesson. I survived and this past week I have done NOTHING and it's never felt so good. I have 2 weeks off before my next class starts {business ethics. Yuck!)
Since it's Sunday, I decided to hold off on what I was going to blog about and tell you a little secret.
I cried teaching my lesson on Sunday.
I didn't even think I was going to! It just came, and it felt GOOD! The lesson was "Joy in the Journey" by President Monson in Oct. 2008 Here's the quote that really hit my center.Some of you may be familiar with Thornton Wilder’s classic drama Our Town. If you are, you will remember the town of Grover’s Corners, where the story takes place. In the play Emily Webb dies in childbirth, and we read of the lonely grief of her young husband, George, left with their four-year-old son. Emily does not wish to rest in peace; she wants to experience again the joys of her life. She is granted the privilege of returning to earth and reliving her 12th birthday. At first it is exciting to be young again, but the excitement wears off quickly. The day holds no joy now that Emily knows what is in store for the future. It is unbearably painful to realize how unaware she had been of the meaning and wonder of life while she was alive. Before returning to her resting place, Emily laments, “Do … human beings ever realize life while they live it—every, every minute?”
Maybe it's because I can hear him saying it, or maybe it's because I don't even know how my kids survived this past week, I just threw crackers at them and turned the TV on. But it made me realize I am way too caught up in the every day monotonous things and that I'm not looking at the bigger picture and enjoying my kids, and enjoying school and work.
Moral of the story? I'm going to enjoy my life more. Exciting things up for this week
