I thought that was so beautiful and couldn't quit thinking about it. If I looked at my day as an opportunity to create a masterpiece, what would I do?! How would I handle things differently? What things would I relinquish because they didn't meet the "important" factor. What things would I make time for no matter what because they are eternal?
These are the very questions God laid on my heart a couple of months ago, and I've been praying about them every day since. Here's what I've come up.
In making today my masterpiece I will:
- Worry less
- Pray more
- Play hard (with my kids)
- Cut out the distractions (Facebook)
- Enjoy being active (bike rides, hikes, swimming with the kids)
- Become a good hand-holder (that one's for you Tim)
- Smile more
- Sigh less
- Enjoy reading (because I can, not because I have to)
- Eat lots of fruits and veggies (one of my favorite things about summer)
- Schedule less (I'm enjoying an open calendar where we can do whatever we feel like each day.)
- Cuddle in the hammock
- Listen to great tunes
- Throw open the windows
- Not stress about tomorrow
- Live in the moment

Been posting pics again on my blog....just finished with the 2 showers we did together......Blogger's letting me upload pics again.....maybe they have new parameters on their quota or if you haven't blogged in a few months, like me, they let you add more???? Who knows.....but I'm taking advantage of it while I can!
I love this post. What a great quote- and what a great list you have come up with. I think I am going to be printing out this blog post. Thanks for sharing!
