You defeated me
But you won't defeat me again
Because you have grown all you can grow....
but I am still growing (about Mount Everest)
-Sir Edmund Hillary
I had a really wrotten day yesterday. Even so, it turned out great. I feel so blessed with so many people in my life that take the time to help, even when I may not always know how to ask for it.
Sir Edmund Hillary is my namesake. For so long, I haven't been able to get out of this rut I have been in. I have been relflecting on this man quite a lot lately. I need to live up to my name. I need to conquer my own little Everests.
Some Everests I have
(by the skin of my teeth) conquered:
get up early.
make breakfast, from scratch, to send my family off on a good note for the day.
Listen to uplifting music to start my day out right.(After this one is checked off, on go the Killers!)
Some Everests I am currently attempting to conquer:
Make more time daily for spirituality. (read scriptures, pray more sincerely, serve someone)
Hug my kids more, hug my husband more.
Be a little more gentle with my husband, my children, my "neighbors", and myself.
Put away my clothes. (hey- not all of my goals are so deep, but they are all just as important!)
- Learn to play the cello.
Get to that point in running where it is enjoyable. (Is there such a point?)
People do not decide to become extraordinary. They decide to accomplish extraordinary things.
-Sir Edmund Hillary
