Caved

Okay, okay, I was afraid of this happening. I couldn't stay away. I caved.

But I have decided to simplify my life a little. I'm trying really hard to be the person I know I have the potential to be. The person my Heavenly Father sees me as.

It's hard sometimes. And life gets in the way sometimes. But I've got a lot going for me.

I'm simplifying my life by using Elder Ballard's advice. I highly recommend it.

He give tips for keeping life's demands in balance. Here they are:

1. Use an eternal perspective to set priorities
-find quite time
-make a daily to do list
2. Set reasonable short-term goals
-set well balanced goals that you can reach
-write them down
3. Become financially responsible and secure
-budget wisely
-don't borrow unless necessary
4. Build close relationships with family and friends
-have gentle, loving, and thoughtful communication
-listen and have a good sense of humor
-forgive
5. Study the scriptures
-study the Book of Mormon daily; make it a lifetime pursuit
6. Rest, exercise, and relax
-schedule time on your daily calendars
-it will enhance your dignity and self-respect
7. Teach one another the gospel
-attend fhe
-teach each other the doctrines of the kingdom
8. Pray often
-pray as individuals and as a family

I hope you all had as good a Sunday as I did!
