{ME thinks....}

Finally....I have a computer and blogger is working now!

It feels like forever since I have blogged I really,really missed it. I did accomplish a ton and it was really a nice realization of how connected we are to things or how much we use a computer for everything. and how much time is wasted maybe....

but I missed it and actually felt lonely could be cause D was gone all week too but I think for women its a time out a much needed one some days...

So what have we been up too a lot of this and a little of everything.... 

finished up football camp, ballet, gymnastics, roots of empathy, and soccer is done this week, kindergarten is done this week...and then onto SUMMER I am so excited our summer is already packed but lots of fun coming up!

Guess thats what we call life eh.

ME THINKS

Yesterday I was asked to do a little 5 minute talk thing in Relief Society on preparing for the future..I pretty much bawled guess thats why I don't like to speak in front of others its alot easier to use a keyboard...

I've been thinking alot about choices our youth, our chidren and us as adults make that effect so many people around us and generations to come and sometimes to be honest it is so scary to see what some are choosing.

If they and we only knew and understood that this life is just a test and in the eternal relm of things its short and determines our future beyond the here and now.

someone once said "the trouble with not having a goal is that you can spend your life running up and down the field and never crossing the goal line."

We have to prepare for the future, we have to teach our children now,

we have to be better examples we have to limit our time wasted and get on our knees at our children's level to understand them and so they know we care understand and love them. Childhood only happens once. 

A few years ago I wrote this entry after watching K walk into kindergarten for the first time with a backpack on that was about as big as he was I cried and hoped I'd done enough so far to help him make it...

{and it goes for each of my children} but its how I feel...

“This life is yours. Take the power to choose what you want to do and do it well. Take the power to love what you want in life and love it honestly. Take the power to walk in the forest and be a part of nature. Take the power to control your own life. No one else can do it for you. Take the power to make your life happy.”

I Love this quote

We all want what is best for our kids and we teach them best we know how to. I know the first five years are the very most important and we've tried hard to teach him all that is important and to have respect and to show him how much we love, appreciate, support and value him, and want him to be happy. Before we sent him out into the world, now I guess its his turn to learn. Hopefully we've taught him well to make wise choices and to be an example.

...but today the moment I watched him walk ahead of me to school where he will spend the next twelve years of his life, I was overcome with the love I have for this boy that I hope and pray he makes wise choices, is happy and healthy and loves life and lives it to the fullest. That he won't get hurt to often and that he won't have to many hardships in life. That he will have success and love and live the gospel. I love my kids so so much! 

What a job we have to raise the next generation are we doing the best we can? 

We have been given some of the greatest gifts on this earth 

what are we doing with them?

That's the question - I think about that a lot.

part of the lesson yesterday included some of these phrases that I loved from president monson:

"There is no tomorrow to remember if we don't do something today, and to live most fully today, we must do that which is of greatest importance. Let us not procrastinate those things which matter most." Now.

one day, each of us will run out of tomorrows. Let us not put off what is most important. Live in the present.

Your treasure map is now in place:

Learn from the past, prepare for the future, live in the present.

no matter what stage of life you are in....

Have an awesome week!!
