Inspiration to Pick Up Bloggin' Again

Okay, so now I've written a blog post in a complete stranger's blog's comments. Thanks for the inspiration, Mikki! I found Mikki's Firelein blog whilst googling "airbag burns". It makes me smile when I find a Latter-day Saint in a serendipitous way. I lingered on her blog for a few minutes, found a cute Francesca Battistelli song, and decided it was time to update my own blog by linking "This Is the Stuff".

But then I got all sentimental and left this comment:
Hope you will continue to cherish the time you have with your children and record daily somewhere some celebration you've realized through them, something you've learned, or a blessing you've realized. Our one and only just got engaged and will marry in the temple in December. I'm testifying to you that the joy of a child's everyday physical presence in our life goes by way too fast! Now the joy comes from knowing she's healthy, happy, and making thoughtful choices, guided and confirmed by her Father in Heaven through the Holy Ghost. It's startling to know she's leaving the nest to create her own, but comforting to know that I did my best to set an example of the eternal truths that will help help her to do so. Most of those offerings were shared in moments unplanned. I'm so grateful that I embraced, sacrificed, and at times fought for full-time motherhood.
On to Loving Life and Living It Well!
