Some Monday mornings I can hardly drag myself out of bed. I often feel the need for a day to recover from my Sabbath! I've learned that to insure that my family has a peaceful Sunday -I get to work twice as hard. But today I was ready to get up and get moving. While the sun was slipping over our ancient mountains, turning the whispy clouds from grey to pink, I walked up to campus to meet my sweet Mary and to walk her home from Seminary. William was going on to his music theory class so I had a chance to walk home with my almost grown girl. How sweet to have a daughter who is not ashamed to take my hand, a daughter who seeks me out, a lovely daughter who inspires me to be better. Because of that time with her this morning I am motivated and energized. I find that my positive interactions with my sweetheart and our children rejeuvenate and inspire me. I am going to make time for more one-on-one with my children. They grow up so quickly and they are so very precious. Being a wife and a mother is such a great gift!
