GENERAL CONFRENCE 2011 SPRING SESSION

My spirit is so light and open, refreshed and renewed after listening to the recent session of General Conference. Every talk seemed to deal with all the things in my life that I had been struggling with. I just wanted to post my fave talk by Elder Richard G. Scott. I hope to be as good a wife to my husband as his dear wife was to him.

No problems in my marriage...but we can always aspire to be a better spouse to our loved one. I know that having a happy marriage will trickle down to my parenting...and eventually to all aspects of my life. I know that in the past, when things seemed cold and disconnected between my David and me...it was all i could think about and I couldn't fully concentrate on my duties as a mother and fulfil them to the best of my abilities. I want to set a good example for my children by treating my husband the way he deserves and vice versa. I always promised myself that i never wanted the kind of "marriage" my parents have. But there have been times, where I would see myself thinking the way my mom did...I'd pray to help me out of my stubbornness, so that I wouldn't set this example for my children, so that I could break the cycle.

There have been a series of events over the course of the past few years that have distanced my sisters and me from my parents. If I could have it any other way, i would...but it would take the miracle of my dad understanding that what he wants for us, is not always the best for us. I know that I am so much happier, and so much more successful than I ever could have been if i had followed my father's path.

"Success is not the key to happiness.

Happiness is the key to success.

If you love what you are doing,

you will be successful"
