Reflections on Motherhood!!
I have three months until the big day, Tianna's graduation. It is bitter sweet because she is the baby of the family, and it causes me to reflect; was I a good mother to all my children? I do have the confidence to know that although I was not a perfect mother while raising my children, I was a dang good mother. By the way, one definition of Perfect is; "complete, finished, fully developed". This tells me that I am still developing as a mother. I believe you never quite mothering your children even when they have married and left the home, it's just a different form of mothering. Remember kids, it's all in love. Some of the definitions of Good are; efficient, competent, reliable, kind, benevolent, charitable, and virtuous. I believe that I had these qualities and developed more as each child enter our home. Did I make lots of mistakes; you bet I did. However, in the end I feel that my children felt loved, protected, and happy, and most of all I hope I helped them know their worth as a child of God; entitled to all the blessing that come with living the commandments of God. One last hope is that my kids will learn from my mistakes. I know they will make mistakes and that's okay, however, there is wisdom in learning from the past. Tyson, Kenna, Jake and Tianna, I love you with all my heart and soul, never lose sight of that.

Goodbye winter, hello spring, I think. At least the ground hog said that we would have early spring. I sometimes can't decide which colors I like best, fall or spring.
Reading President Monson's book. LOVE It!!!!!!!!!!! It will take me so long to get through it because there are so many good lessons, quotes, and amazing stories that I have to make them so I can go back later to re-read.
