Today's Quote

“As parents, we should remember that our lives may be the book from the family library which the children most treasure. Are our examples worthy of emulation? Do we live in such a way that a son or a daughter may say, ‘I want to follow my dad,’ or ‘I want to be like my mother’? Unlike the book on the library shelf, the covers of which shield its contents, our lives cannot be closed. Parents, we truly are an open book in the library of learning of our homes.” Thomas S Monson

Writers Block and Karma

I have really had a hard time getting on here to post.  The past 4 months or so have been a WHIRLWIND!!!

We moved into our house :D

The Girls started School. :D

We LOVE our life.

I started getting whiny a couple of weeks ago about the way David's Family behaves.  And Rachel pointed out to me that Karma is a Bitch.  And I need to just remember that Karma will step in at some point.

That is something I just need to hold on to.

SO, I refuse to let myself be weaker than I am and stoop to the level where I am taking more than I give.  Because someday, someone will try to take the liberty of whining about how hard they have it (when they stood by and let me handle EVERYTHING on my own) and I will be able to look at the situation with a clear conscience, and not do a damn thing.

Awful to take that view on it, maybe.

But here's the thing.

I believe in helping others.

I believe in treating them how I want them to treat me.

But, I believe that it's ok to try my best to help.  To be willing and available to help.  And when they turn my help down over and over, and refuse to return the courtesy, to do MY best and then step back and allow them to have to do their best when it's their turn.

This isn't meant as saying "I love my life. Now deal with yours."

This is me saying,  "I.Love. My. Life."  And "I will give 100% when it's my turn." And "If you choose NOT to give that same 100% when it's your turn, YOU can deal with the consequences."

Anyway.  I will always give my best.  Because Karma and God are real, and I want to be on Their good side ;-)  Because, I LOVE MY LIFE!!!
