It was true yesturday, today I feel differently. This mom thing is so hard. One day is good and the next not good. One day rewarding and the next boring. God bless every one for even getting out of bed in the morning. The quote by Joseph F. Smith was great and leads me to ask- then why all those super-human Ensign examples? Expectations take the wind out of my sails. Anna, I can't even comprehend how difficult being a single mom is, WOW. My post from yesturday has been haunting me.

Here's a quote from it that I love: In a short editorial written by President Joseph F. Smith in 1905, he made this most profound statement about what true greatness really is: “Those things which we call extraordinary, remarkable, or unusual may make history, but they do not make real life. “After all, to do well those things which God ordained to be the common lot of all mankind, is the truest greatness. To be a successful father or a successful mother is greater than to be a successful general or a successful statesman.” (Juvenile Instructor, 15 Dec. 1905, p. 752.)

I've contemplated my state of "not enough-ness" and the struggle between "to be" and "to do" quite a bit over the years, so the subject resonates with me. It's important to find our worth in both because otherwise what will we do when things happen (this is something I learned when a major surgery laid me up for a while) when we can't do those things we thought made us valuable. Do we cease to be of value then? shelah and michelle--I hope you both love "the next stage" as much as I am loving it. I'm tired, but I'm loving it! I too have enjoyed this post and the discussion.

I do strive to hear and follow the spirit, but avoid goals. I get a stomach ache when people talk about goals. This is a worthy post, Michelle, and I've experienced some of your frustration when women refuse to leave their children for anything. However, I celebrate those who enjoy doing nothing.
