“Think about your particular assignment at this time in your life. It may be to get an education, it may be to rear children, it may be to be a grandparent, it may be to care for an relieve the suffering of someone you love, it may be to do a job in the most excellent way possible, it may be to support someone who has a difficult assignment of their own. Our assignments are varied and they change from time to time. Don’t take them lightly. Give them your full heart and energy. Do them with enthusiasm. Do whatever you have to do this week with your whole heart and soul. To do less than this will leave you with an empty feeling.”
— Marjorie Pay Hinckley from Small and Simple Things
My assignment; Climbing stairs on hands and knees and doing it again and again, getting wet sloppy kisses, discovering how much fun it is to rip up paper, watching my son and daughter-in-law loving their child. With renewed awe for all that parents of babies do every day. See you next week.
