Making Magical Moments

I've been thinking a lot today about my priorities. The last few weeks haven't been bad necessarily--they just haven't been my best. I've been a little on edge at work, unhappy with myself in general, and I feel like I just "get by" in everything--my relationships, my calling, my SELF. I don't want my life to be plagued with"getting bys." I want it to be full of magical little moments that define who I am and who I am becoming.

There are more important things than paperwork, returning phone calls, and running errands. More important than making my bed, getting ready for TV segments, or wearing a cute outfit. Those "more important things" aren't really things at all. Sparkly, magical moments don't just appear out of the abyss of life. They are made. There must be opportunity made for magic. There must be an open heart and an open mind. There must be people to share those moments with and the laughter to accompany them.

Tomorrow is the first day of school. A day for new beginnings. There is already a hint of fall crispness in the air and the potential for goodness is in my heart. Here's to another school year. Here's to trying a little bit hard to make a life full of many magical moments.
