"A house does not have to be perfect to be a home of joy, a child does not have to behave perfectly to love and be loved, and every moment of life does not have to be perfect to be of value. Too often, I realize, we fail to see the glorious reality of the simple joy that abounds in the seemingly mundane routine of day-to-day living. Instead, we tend to idolize the past, idealize the future, and devalue the present.... What better way to show our appreciation to Heavenly Father for what we have than to embrace our lives, albeit 'ordinary' and 'unexciting,' with joy?"

--Winnie Dalley; Ensign, March 1998

Taking the easy way out

I've got so much going on inside my head, between weddings, high school reunions, my last day of work (today!), kindergarten, our garage sale this weekend, and numerous other things... I have no idea what to blog about. Lets call it Blog Block. So, for now, I will just leave you with the thought of the day:

"The child must know that he is a miracle, that since the beginning of the world there hasn't been, and until the end of the world there will not be, another child like him."

-Pablo Casals
