Well, you wouldn't believe it (I'm still feeling shocked myself) but I am KID FREE at this moment! Although it doesn't really FEEL like I'm kid free, because I keep looking up to check where my kids are, and what they are doing, or what they are breaking, or eating or stomping or coloring. BUT it's true, I am here - sitting outside the beautiful Saint George temple and my kiddos are home playing with their daddy!!
I felt the need while sitting here enjoying the utter silence to get out some of the things tugging at my heart strings! As I sit here at the temple I am filled with the spirit! I am so unbelievably grateful for the knowledge I have that families are forever! To know that my Farmor and Farfar, my uncle jerry and all my other family members that I don't even KNOW are watching over me! I am even more grateful to know that I can be the perfectly imperfect screw up of a person that I am (that we ALL are) and it's ok! I can wake up each day and try to be a little bit better and that is good enough!! I honestly wish that all of us imperfect people could start cutting eachother some slack! We are all here just chugging along in this sometimes hellish place trying to do the very best we can! We ALL screw up, say things we regret, do things we regret! And when it's yourself you hope and pray that people will forgive and forget and move on - yet it somehow is so hard to show the same compassion for others, or even for yourself!!
Life is entirely too short to spend it holding grudges, and being hateful. Too many lives can be affected and hurt by being stubborn, unforgiving and vindictive!
FORGIVE, don't hold a grudge - don't stay mad - don't be stubborn - because before you know it you won't have the opportunity to make it right - to give one last hug or kiss. To laugh and make memories one more time! And you will be left with a hole in your heart that is far bigger than the one put there in the first place. I am surrounded by so many amazing people that I truly love with all my heart and I am forever grateful for each and everyone of you!!
Now I better get going before poor Matt things he has a runaway wife!!
LOVES TO YOU ALL!!
