For Valentines Day this year, Mike and I were challenged to write out a list of "Love Advice to Myself". Mike went first. (These are things Mike has already been committed to, reminds himself of frequently, and continues to be reminded of as our family faces the many demands of daily life.)

One of the Most Precious Days of My Existence

Don’t Quit!
Only 3 more days til Christmas Eve! I'm not ready yet! As we were driving home a couple days ago I was listing to my husband ALL the things on my list that I wished to get done but hadn't yet, I lamented like little Sarah in the video attached "I can't!"
