Reminders

Sometimes us, Mommies, need to be reminded of what really matters...I was reading this blog, Rocks in my Dryer that was recommended by another blog I frequent and I found the end of her post to be inspiring...

Let me never forget the destination. It isn't soccer practice or a cleaned plate or a folded basket of underwear. Those are tiny little stops along the way, and they're stops that often create a sense of urgency, blinding me from the big picture.
They'll never remember the folded underwear. But if I listen? And laugh? And encourage? And smile? And understand?
They'll remember that. And so will I.

Reminders...when I am up to my ears in laundry, homework and soccer practice...it's a good reminder. :)
