26 before 63

 

Laura is an amazing daughter, and a phenomenal blogger.

She has inspired me often and her latest post has inspired me to write this post.

She will be turning 24 in a few months and she posted 23 things that she will do before her 24th.

Now I certainly could try to come up with 62 before my 63...but being creative I thought that 26 ( reversed 62) would work......so here goes. In no special order.

1. Publish my next blog book

2. Write a grandma letter to each of my grandkiddies

3. Visit Sask.and Alberta

4. Go to General Conference

5. Walk more-twice a week

6. Visit an old friend

7. Hold a card making night

8. Fix my bedroom quilt

9. Make my bed as soon as I get up.

10. Purge more of the basement

11. Purchase a game of Dutch Blitz

12. Ride my bike more regularly

13. Bake a gluten free apple cheese cake

14. Pay more attention to my garden

15. Study my scriptures more prayerfully

16. Create some sets of occasion cards.

17. Post a blog about my siblings

18. Compliment others more often

19. Go to Newfoundland

20. Visit another Temple

21  Bare my Testimony

22.  Read 8 new books

23. Knit more slippers

24. Paint the deck

25. Finish a smocked dress

26.  Blog more often...at least twice a week

 

 

I know that some of these are similar to yours Laura...they were great ideas.

Thank again, Laura for your good example and your inspiration.

 

Now....this is a random thought that has nothing to do with the above post. Yesterday we had some great talks in Sacrament and this particular thought has stayed with me....just paraphrasing....

 

Foolish people find the flaws in others and try to change them.

Wise people find the flaws in themselves and change themselves.

 

I also liked the lesson that Karen taught in Relief Society ( she's such a great teacher) and this was a quote that I liked

 

We should endeavor, as far as possible, to forget all worldly matters which grieve and vex us, and fix our minds upon the Lord, having a sufficiency of His Holy Spirit that we may be enabled to receive such knowledge and suggestions as will help us in our onward path.
