The Good Life

Do you ever just have one of those days, weeks, years? It seems like getting on my feet is next to impossible. I have so many irons in the fire... and so little time! Or something like that ;-)
That reminds me of when Maddy used to get expressions mixed up and say, "I have something fishy swimming up my sleeve..."!!

But I digress-

For months I have been treading water to stay afloat. I feel like I have short-term memory loss, ADD, and... some other acronym that gives explanation to my behavior! Things that don't matter seem paramount and yet the obvious things that need doing go undone.

Do you ever freak out over the little things? And then later feel like you want to crawl into bed with your kids and hug it all away?

Do you do the laundry and not fold it?

Have you had three great books started and not been able to have the brainpower to stick with the storyline?

And then something happens. Like tonight.

I went to Young Women's and introduced the Young Women in Excellence program to the girls. We practiced a new song, the girls participated in the program, paid attention, laughed, sang to a birthday girl, and felt the Spirit.

Tonight, I am still in this disaster that I call my home, but now I am realizing that it is temporary. I really can clean it up, fold it up, throw it out, stuff it in-- whatever it takes.

I am thankful for those moments that put life into perspective and for the people in my life that put me into perspective.

Life really IS good.
