The Way We Spend Our Hours…

is the way we spend our lives.

It has really been on my heart lately to be careful with the time that I have been given.  How I spend each hour will determine what I accomplish, what my children remember of me, how others perceive me, how I am measured as a wife, how I feel about myself…

There’s a little saying that I love:

Sow a thought, reap a habit.
Sow a habit, reap a character.
Sow a character, reap a destiny.

I have no idea who said this originally, but it’s a thought that runs through my mind at times and slows me down and says, careful what you do

I want to make 2008 a year of more attentive care to my children, my daughter especially right now, and my husband.  More thoughts about that later and what my hopes are.

I am starting a new book with my daughter. I found this old copy at — you guessed it — the thrift store.  But you can still buy it new.

On the Way Home: The Diary of a Trip from South Dakota to Mansfield, Missouri, in 1894

I think she’ll enjoy it.

She also wants to read Little Women, so that’s on my list of things to buy for her for Christmas.
