sailor started primary and LOVES it.
todd just started his second semester of law school. only 5 more! ha
my goal for 2012 is to simplify.
i already have a good start. moving into a tiny house forces you to de-clutter.
today, todd and i had a mid-year reorganizing day to straighten and clean closets etc.
mostly when i say i need to simplify, i'm referring to this quote.
my friend tara, who i go to for so many ideas and insight on life posted this on fb and i just love it.
the quote is simple in itself, but it has the potential to bring so much happiness.
and... our family's new theme song
"you can't always get what you want!
but if you try sometimes, you just might find, you're gonna get what you need."
this rolling stones song has been in the rotation in my car for i don't know how long. but i never really cared for it until i heard sailor singing along a few weeks ago.
what better way to teach a toddler than in their own language.
a song that repeats this line over and over and over ;)
"you can't always get what you wa-ant!"
it's true isn't it?!
even when we don't get what we want,
when we try our best to keep the commandments,
we do get what we need. which leaves us
wanting what we have.
