Important Today

“Let us then continue on in this important work of recording the things we do, the things we say, the things we think, to be in accordance with the instructions of the Lord. . .  Those who keep a journal are more likely to keep the Lord in remembrance in their daily lives. . . Journals are a way of counting our blessings and of leaving an inventory of these blessings for our posterity. . . Begin today and write in it your goings and comings, your deepest thoughts, your achievements and your failures, your associations and your triumphs, your impressions and your testimonies. I promise you that if you will keep your journals and records, they will indeed be a source of great inspiration to you, each other, your children, your grand-children, and others throughout the generations.” Teachings of Spencer W. Kimball

I am busy today.  Super busy.  But I had to get on the computer anyway, and thought I would quickly post a few pictures I missed this past week.  I'm worried more and more about my memory capability, and want to remember some of these small, insignificant (or not so insignificant) things.  "Enjoy the little things, for one day you may look back and realize they were the big things."  I gave myself 5 10 15 minutes, so please excuse the typos or grammatical errors :-)

Last Saturday:

 Bill and Mar attended our ward's Breakfast with Santa activity.  They left bright and early to assist with the pancakes.

 Bill's most impressive stunt, which he performs whenever there is pancake batter around AND an appreciative audience.  He paid for it the rest of the day with digestive grumblings.

 There's probably not a lot of these pictures left to be taken... I had to share.

And I couldn't let this picture pass -- getting Tay's invitations together.  

Despite the craziness of the past week, I feel overwhelmed with gratitude for my blessings, to the point of near-weepiness.  I can't cry today -- no time.  In the words of a somewhat corny poem (those are the best), 

"I'm drinking from my saucer, 'cause my cup has overflowed."

  

Time's up.
