Amen, Marj. This new mom thing + full time job + cooking dinners + keeping house clean + church calling is tou-ugh. My head is no white sand beach. It's spinning at all times and relaxing just isn't happening. The house never feels clean enough, the meals I cook never seem that spectacular, I'm always a day behind on my own personal hygiene, there's always a load of laundry forgotten in the dryer. But focusing on the successes and having joy. I'm slowly realizing that's the only way to go. Life will never be perfect and there will never be enough time to fit it all in, but there are two important boys in my house that need to see a happy me. So I'm doing my best and trying to enjoy all that's happening around me, because there's some beautiful things, yes indeed.

creating a home.
“As you create a home, don't get distracted with a lot of things that have no meaning for you or your family. Don't dwell on your failures, but think of your successes. Have joy in your home. Have joy in your children. Have joy in your husband. Be grateful for the journey.” ― Marjorie Pay Hinckley

That's lovely. I've been talking to Josh lately about how much fun just living life has been with him and Scarlet. My days are full on mundane activities that take more time than I have, but the overall mixture of it all is purely sublime. It's all about perspective, I guess, and I love yours!
ReplyDeleteYou and Marj are tight. Love it. This quote was perfect.
ReplyDeleteAs tough as your new schedule is, the silver lining is that you learn to prioritize what is important to you. It's better than boredom, right? White sand beaches are nice every once in a while, though. Good luck as you try to find time for yourself!
