This video is a great reminder of how important it is to focus on the people in our lives and not busy ourselves with things of no real worth. I heard a quote when I was first married, 25 years ago, that has stuck with me ever since.
"At the end of your life you will never look back and say, Oh I wish I would have spent more time at work, but you will most likely say; Oh how I wish I would have spent more time with my family."
I have always remember this quote and it has helped me to remember what my most important focus should always be and how to avoid having any regrets when it comes to the end of my life!
I do know that being available for my family has filled my life with so much happiness. At times when I have overfilled my life with too many things I find myself unhappy and miserable. Although it is a work in progress I am finding joy in the journey of trying to simplify my life each day. Although this disease has been difficult it has really made me slow down and smell the roses and enjoy each day to its fullest!
Life would not be the same were it not for the example of my Savior and how I need to live my life each day. Remembering the person I need to be and what is most important in life has helped me to be a better daughter, wife, mother, and grandmother.
