My little one is so much fun! He climbs everything with the energy and anticipation that I imagine one has when ascending Mt. Everest. He loves life and people watching. He is the KING of facial expressions. He could make a living mimicking people and entertaining them with his little personality. I love him to the moon. 

Being the imperfect human and mother that I am, I wonder if I give him the full attention that he needs. I am working hard to build a business from home and that means a large chunk of my day is spent on social media, networking or communicating with people outside of our family. I realize that I can spend hours thinking and planning what to do or how to say something and that in turn, I miss out on moments with my son, precious moments - I'll only ever have my first child (thus a single child) once. I need to make the most of it! Is social media or even becoming independently wealthy more important than time with my son? Absolutely not. 

In church meetings today I was challenged with several questions that really tugged on my insides a bit.

What is the greatest desire of your heart? That thing that occupies most of your thoughts, wishes, longings and intentions?

What do you put your time, heart and energy into?

When you struggle, what is the thing that you grasp onto and hold for dear life?

What kind of heart do you want to present to the Savior? What does that look like?

Things to contemplate.
