Moments

I have spent my entire morning in front of the computer.  And I am STILL here.
(In my pj's... shhhhh... don't tell!)

I have been productive, catching up on emails (including an update on my niece Calle), downloading pictures, and sending out evites for our semi-annual General Conference luncheon AND a Syddall Family Pioneer Trek Reunion.  All worthy purposes.  I hope.

I have paused briefly to help Mar get ready and out the door to school, kiss Bill as he left for work, respond to a text from Lex (who is not feeling well), and hug Tay as he left for a very important meeting.

I have reflected on the briefness of life, reminded once again by Aunt Bennith's passing yesterday.  I have contemplated the challenges we are each given, and their necessity, as my thoughts and prayers are with my sweet little niece Calle and her parents.

I have been on the Church website several times this morning, and just couldn't pass up listening to a Mormon Message or two.  I thought this one was perfect to share today:

(Don't you just love the mom who leaves her computer to play with her kids??  I think that was a little reminder specifically for me today to PAY ATTENTION and make those moments matter.)

I can't wait for more inspired messages this weekend during General Conference.  I can always use the opportunity to self-evaluate and improve.  And I'm done with the computer for the day.
