Aren't mothers awesome? I want to be a mother some day. Some people say they never want to have children, and that makes me so sad. I love children and I especially want to have my own. To be a mother is the most noblest calling a woman could ever have. And you really don't realize how much your mother does for you until you move out either. I don't say that because I miss her doing things for me. You know how some people say that and what they really mean is "I miss my mom cooking dinner for me and folding my laundry and making my bed." But instead, having moved out, I have become very independent, rarely do I ask for help with something. So when someone does something for me, I immediately notice and feel extreme gratitude. And so with this new sense of independence, I look back and realize how much I used to be dependent on my mom. My mom did so much for me and I am so grateful to her, and I almost feel guilty. All those times she kindly made my bed, or cleaned up after me, or made me dinner, or took me shopping, when you are so dependent, you don't realize just how much of a sacrifice it is for the other person, just how thankful you ought to be. And then you move out and you have to do all of those things yourself and realize how spoiled you have been. I am eternally grateful to my mother and love her so much!
As for my week, it was busy but not too stressful. I just feel like I'm constantly doing something. Social Dance Club, Recreational Night for Folk Dance, projects for my Drawing class, studying for tests. Yesterday I took an online test for my Joseph Smith and the Restoration class. Took me like 4 hours. Bleh. I could have saved it and continued working on the test later, but I just wanted to get it done. I also went to the temple again yesterday and finally went shopping (I'd been putting that off for several days) and worked on writing a song. So this song, I started writing it a long time ago. I don't even remember the last time I worked on it. It was a long time ago. I play it every once in a while, and then I get to the end and just don't know what else. It's been a major case of writer's block for over a year. But yesterday as I was playing it, I thought it would make the perfect lullaby, and all of a sudden I knew what should come next in my song. And guess what? It's finished! I still need to finish writing the lyrics, but today I finished the piano part. Personally, I think it's really pretty too. It's titled "The Maze." I'm quite proud of myself.
Well that's really all I can think to say, so happy Mother's Day and I hope you all have a good week and remember to stay optimistic and grateful.
