"We live in deeds, not years: In thoughts not breaths; In feelings, not in figures on a dial. We should count time by heart throbs. He most lives who thinks most, feels the noblest, acts the best."
--David Bailey
I AM A MOTHER. My job in this life is to keep my children safe, to support, defend and nuture them. I must teach them how to love and be loved. I must show them how important they are in this world. My job is the scariest, most overwhelming, and difficult job imaginable. And yet, my job is still the best job in the world!
--Author Unknown
In all of living have much fun and laughter. Life is to be enjoyed, not just endured.
Gordon B. Hinckley
"The biggest mistake I made (as a parent) is the one most of us make...I did not live in the moment enough. This is particularly clear now that the moment is gone, captured only in photographs. There is one picture of my three children sitting in the grass on a quilt in the shadow of the swing set on a summer day, ages six, four, and one. And I wish I could remember what we ate, and what we talked about, and how they sounded, and how they slept that night. I wish I had not been in such a hurry to get on to the next thing: dinner, bath, book, bed. I wish I had treasured the doing a little more and getting it done a little less".
