I saw this video on Mahon's blog today and I absolutely loved it! Who couldn't love President Dieter F. Uchtdorf's talk from the General Relief Society meeting back in September of 2008. At the beginning of 2009 I spent quite a bit of time thinking about what my goals should be for the year. We often set high expectations and fall short...or at least I do. I asked tons of people what their goals were for the year trying to find inspiration of what is REALLY important. After much thought I came up with two goals that I really wanted to accomplish this year. 1. To spend less money than we make. 2. To finish all of my unfinished sewing projects.
This video reminded me why I love to do so many things. I find so much joy in sewing, cooking, and writing. I know that I am not very good at any of these things, but they make me happy anyway. I also figured out that if I finish one of my unfinished projects each month I will be done with all of my sewing projects by the end of the year. (That is if I don't add any new projects to the pile...which is hard not to do.) It has been so much fun to pull out almost done projects that were stopped for some reason and to fall in love with them again. Last month I finished this fun quilt that I did for my quilt class. I must say it has become my favorite quilt to snuggle up in.
I have a whole corner in my sewing room full of projects just waiting their turn to be finished. Isn't it great how we all can find something to create, something that brings us joy.
I absolutely love that video!!! While I was on YouTube I saw all kinds of garbage about Mormons. It was kind of disturbing... I think I'm going to go read my scriptures. What's all this talk about you thinking you aren't good at stuff. I want to be just like you! I am so proud to call you my sister! There is a reason I leave off the in-law, it's because it feels like I grew up with you, and the in-law feels so distant. We are much closer than that. I love you!
