Spring.

When I look at the picture below:

I TRY really, really hard to think about this:

"If you are still in the process of raising children, be aware that the tiny fingerprints that show up on almost every newly cleaned surface, the toys scattered about the house, the piles and piles of laundry to be tackled will disappear all too soon and that you will-to your surprise-miss them profoundly."

President Thomas S. Monson

If you wish to feel inspired read his talk Finding Joy in the Journey.

At the same time, I feel grateful that this is happening outside:

{because a whole winter of being inside and messes that inevitably happen when you're inside for too long can drive anyone to insanity...}

Spring is here.

It makes me so happy. Words can't describe the joy I feel.

{It's time to come out of hibernation.}
