~ David in our English walnut tree yesterday afternoon
While reading Margie's blog this evening, I came upon this quote from Anna Quindlen: I wish I had treasured the doing a little more and the getting it done a little less.
That's what I'm trying to do, but some days I'm more successful than on other days. Let's face it - some hours I'm more successful than other hours. I hope tomorrow I'm less intent on crossing things off my mental to-do list and more aware of the fleeting preciousness of these days. Even if Tobin does a repeat of his performance tonight and vomits. If he does, may I remember, as I clean him and his surroundings, to treasure the doing.
LOVE the quote! Thanks for sharing :)
ReplyDeleteThat is definitely a quote for me today. I'm so often eager to get on to the next thing that I fail to enjoy the thing I'm in now.
ReplyDeleteOh, Davene. Thank you. Thank you for your comments, and for reminding me AGAIN to treasure the doing. I have to work on that every day and it's really hard when exhaustion clouds everything. It's so easy to forget.
ReplyDeleteI wanted to leave another comment to acknowledge your word "vomit." I hope the practice is limited to Tobin, that his experience this go-round is limited, and that you have spent only limited time dealing with it.
ReplyDeleteAnd I hope you're getting some rest.
Thanks for this reminder. And, your boys are so cute! That's a really neat picture of David, and your new header for Oct. is great. I hope things are improving over there. We're having colds and fevers with Paul and Hannah, and I hope they are soon getting better too. But, at least there hasn't been any vomiting!
