I know, Elissa, that’s the hardest thing for me, honestly. My nature tends to place minute things on the same level with major things. That’s when I call that image to mind and it always helps. Thanks for commenting!

So well written…beautiful balance between humour and reality. I especially love the metaphor of time vs priorities. Because that’s what it’s all about right? Deciding which priorities are urgent/not urgent; important/not important. Sometimes I want to get ‘stuff’ done without thinking how trivial it is vs the big picture.

Thank you, dear Ann! And I’m honored that you came over, because I know you’re already in LTYM-land. I hear it’s very warm and nice there.

If I asked my kids what was the most important thing in my life, they would say my iPhone. I envy you for having kids that replied in such an honest, spiritual way. Your next post (on DustyEarthMother.com) needs to be about how to make sure your kids know how important your religion is to you!

Thank you for saying the “gutsy” word, Anne. This was not an easy post for me to write, to be honest, you know, because of the whole “unimportant, but still captivating(trying to impress)” thing. But this is genuinely who I am, and genuine is always better, even if others disagree, right? Thanks for reading.

As a matter of fact, Tracy, sales start TODAY. How about that for timing?
