Enjoy the Moment

I love this picture that Princess took.  I think it is precious.   Most of the time I am always behind the camera and don't really get to see and realize the things I do for my children.  I'm either running around like a headless chicken trying to get things done and not really enjoying the here and now.  Thank you my Princess for capturing this moment.

"Being a mother at any age is a blessing, but as we age and our children become interesting and productive adults we really begin to savor the joys of the harvest, the fruit of our labors.  How could we have known when they were young and the demands so constant that we would ever have the luxury of simply enjoying their loving companionship?" (Marjorie Pay Hinckley,  Small and Simple Things; pg. 82)

A good reminder and something to look forward to. They will grow up.  They will not always be here to give me a "headache".  They will not be here to bicker and tease.  The noise and the mess will diminish as each one leaves the house...so I need to remember to enjoy the present moment.
