Yesterday, Don, M and I went the temple. While Don performed temple work, M and I went to the bookstore. Then we came back to the temple and walked around with Don looking at the beautiful flowers and feeling the Spirit so strong. We sat and talked and watched M's adorable face as he collected leaves and rose petals and talked with us. The only thing that could have made those moments more perfect would have been D's presence.
I am really striving to live TODAY. I have always had a way of living too much in the past and trying to figure out the future. A friend recently told me to live more in the moment. Sometimes that is hard for me becuause I do not want to forget the past and I want to plan for the future. I feel that setting and reaching goals, both short term and long term is really important. But somehow there is a fine line between setting goals for the future and living in the future. Living TODAY helps me to enjoy more today and to be grateful for each minute that makes TODAY special.
Totally off the subject, here is a quote from www.myoneword.org "Rather than a quick fix on outward appearance, He'll transform our heart and motives for (or from) the inside."
Bye for now, Katie
