Check!

I love to write lists and check them off. it gives me a great sense of accomplishment. I will even go to the extent of making my bed, then writing it down on my list just to quickly check it off. This gives me a good head start. I even write down, "Take shower, Hair and Make-up" for more things to check off. Ridiculous, I know. Sometimes, I get too far ahead of myself when I don't even have all the information i need to make lists to check. For instance, I started looking for places to live back in January, and I had no idea where we were even moving to. So you can imagine my frustration of not being able to Check that off my list. This is part of my impatient side......eeek. Well, this weekend, we found a place to live, checked out our new ward, and Alyssa's school. Check, check, check!!!! Things are really coming together! Now if I could just get my house put back together! Uhg!

Imperfections

After a really rough weekend and busy first week, I found myself searching for personal encouragement this morning. Recently, I was reminded, all though in a joking matter, of my shortcomings. My frustration is how humiliated I felt, that I went home to reflect on where I can do better. We all are imperfect, and we can all strive to do better, and that is what I am committed to do. Today, everyday!
Months back I started following NIE! I have really grown to love this woman. She is incredible. She has fought just to survive and reading her progress is inspirational! I always find myself feeling better after I read her blog and feeling like anything is possible. No matter who I am, what I've done or haven't done, and regardless of my imperfections. I rarely post these things, I rarely even watch them. I am glad I watched this. The beauty is in the message.
