I have to admit I was inspired by reading Suzanne's schedule for the Fall; to organize, prioritize, schedule, and be a more effective person. Most of my life I have tended towards a more whimsical approach. However, I am never happier than when I rest well and accomplish much. Gives my brain more time to think, and I currently don't get enough of that.
I usually listen to Covey's book on CD every January, to get things into perspective for the upcoming year. But while getting ready for a new baby.... doubling my trouble and my fun... now may be as good a time as any!
So here are my words of wisdom... not my own of course... that have stuck with me since I first listened to this inspiring book:
"THE THINGS THAT MATTER THE MOST IN OUR LIVES, MUST NEVER BE AT THE MERCY OF THE THINGS THAT MATTER THE LEAST."

I now have two favorite quotes that I will always try to remember:
The one by Stephen Covey
AND
"I am never happier than when I rest well and accomplish much." by Emily Norat
I couldn't agree more with both of them.
Thank you so much!!!
Amen to that... I may have to pick up that book on tape. That sounds like a great New Year's tradition. So good to have such inspiring friends!
I remember you talking about this book - I need to read it.
Oh, and Em... I totally thought of you when Elder Parry started talking about Thoreau! I keep meaning to bring back your illuminated copy. That one isn't doing it for me; it's too disjointed. I will pick up a copy of the real thing, though.
Emily Ann -
I tagged you on my blog and I expect some interesting answers. Check the rules.
AMEN.
