TIME FOR SPRING CLEANING
You should see my bedroom right now. It's worse than usual. I decided to finally tackle the job that has needed to be done since we moved into this house. When we moved into this house
things were really hectic!!!!!! We just had to throw boxes into this room and and let it go. I have just kept looking at all this stuff and it seemed totally overwhelming to me to try to tackle this
mess. It might take me a week of doing this a little at a time but I have made some real headway
in just the last two days.
I have done something to my wrist in the process. This might slow me down for a few days.
It feels as if it needs to pop but it just won't. It is slightly swollen and I can't put any pressure on it or it hurts really bad.
I just found this quote online. I feel like it is something that my kids need to think about and realize that things don't have to be perfect. Life isn't perfect, we just need to find the lessons in the nonperfection around us that our Heavenly Father wants us to learn. Adversity and non perfection helps us to become stronger and better people.
"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?"
