Shining through the Journey?

While blog stalking today, I stumbled across this fabulous reminder that life does not wait for us so you need to Shine today. Thanks Chelsea Talks Smack for the incredible reminder. In line with her post and my blog stalking, I also discovered this great quote.

"Day by day, minute by minute, second by second we went from where we were to where we are now. The lives of all of us, of course, go through similar alterations and changes. The difference between the changes in my life and the changes in yours is only in the details. Time never stands still; it must steadily march on, and with the marching come the changes.
This is our one and only chance at mortal life—here and now. The longer we live, the greater is our realization that it is brief. Opportunities come, and then they are gone. I believe that among the greatest lessons we are to learn in this short sojourn upon the earth are lessons that help us distinguish between what is important and what is not. I plead with you not to let those most important things pass you by as you plan for that illusive and non-existent future when you will have time to do all that you want to do. Instead, find joy in the journey—now." Thomas S. Monson

I needed these simple reminders today. With the hubby being home, life is flying by. Don't get me wrong, I'm not complaining. I'm enjoying every second, but in the process I've lost a little of my "shine." I've said it before and I'll say it again - enjoy today because it's a fleeting moment so hug everyone, smile at strangers, and enjoy the little things in life. They really do make all the difference in the world.
