Too busy?




I have been so wrapped up in life, that I forget life.  It doesn't make too much sense, but that is how I feel.  I have been worrying that I don't do enough for the people that are needing some extra care, then I have nightmares that my whole ward shows up for dinner and I only prepared enough for 4...A sign that maybe I better buckle down and do what is imprtant... not just the things I want to do.  People are more important than the quilts I put together or the paintings that I paint.  I need to pay attention to the needs of others and really put forth the effort to touch bases with them and keep them in my heart and prayers. We had a good friend die today.  We haven't talked to him for awhile...we just knew he would be there.  Now, he is gone and we won't have the oportunity to tell him that we thought he was great. We always hear..".it just happened so fast."  I know it does, but it doesn't prepare you for the time that it does.  I will vow to make it known to friends and family that I love and appreciate them.  I will tell them whenever I get a chance.  I hope they know, so when it is my time to be gone suddenly, they will be secure in my love.  So...as of tonight...I love you all.  I will be there if you need me. I will get out of my comfort zone and yell it to the world.  My friends and family are my life and I will not get so wrapped up with the unimportant parts and miss those that I hold dear.
