brushing aside waves to look for water




home life. it doesn't offer many surprises. there are so many chores. it's easy to get discouraged (for me at least.) i get frustrated with my children a lot. i let them watch too much t.v. i feel like there are too many improvements that i need to make.
luckily i get reminders, almost daily sometimes, of how lucky and blessed i am. seeing nie-nie on oprah, conference, capturing a moment with one of my children in photo form, or reading a really good quote.
like this one that my friend kat put up as her facebook status a few days ago, "If you seek some special life outside of daily activities, that is like brushing aside waves to look for water."

so important to remember these things daily. i easily get caught up in things that won't matter in a week, or even the next day. thanks for the little reminder!

Now that is a great quote. I've been feeling the same lately -- that I'm not doing enough. It's so easy to forget that everything we need, and everything that is good and fun is right in front of us!
