Today was my last "lead" teach day in my practicum class. Although I still have finals, portfolios, papers to write, and much to do I feel like I'm on a down hill slide. I found myself in a very ungrateful mood this afternoon as I headed back to night class calling on Heather once again to help with the kids my mother's guilt was looming.
I opened my scriptures tonight and read this quote that was stuck in there....
President David O'McKay counseled: "Learn to like your work. Learn to say, 'This is my work, my glory, not my doom.' God has blessed us with the privilege of working. When he said, 'Earn thy bread by the sweat of thy brow,'he gave us a blessing. Men and women have accepted it. Too much leisure is dangerous. Work is a divine gift."
This is just what I needed to read and reread. It has given me the boost to be in a better mood with the fam. and enjoy these last 11 days of school this semester as I realize this is my season for mom and school to enjoy it and stop feeling so guilty all the time for not doing this or that!
