Watch our easter below!
This weekend it was conference weekend and easter. What a good mix.
Although nobody does chocolate easter eggs here and it kills me. In need of a big galaxy egg.
As fun it was setting up eilidh and skye's easter things (and I staying up making skye home made easter biscuits, yes I'm that freaking extra ok) it was good to listen to the council from conference this weekend. For those of you who don't know, general conference is - it is a gathering of members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints that is held twice a year. April and October, it is held in Salt Lake, here in Utah, but also broadcasted across the entire world for people to watch live.
Leaders of the church, including our living prophet, deliver messages of inspiration and guidance (if you're looking for an inspiring insta-worthy caption, look no further all my basic B's). Every single talk is full of comfort, assurance and answers. They are also on lds.org and youtube available to read/watch back as many times as you like. Sometimes it gives you a kick up the backside and makes you realize that you're focusing on the wrong things in order to be truly happy. But I'm grateful for those reminders to stay on the path.
I've been thinking about how toxic social media is. I upload a photo, then waste 30 minutes scrolling. It's bad for your mental health. Don't get me wrong, I love it too, I love the idea of looking back at insta/facebook photos years down the line. I also upload so much so I can create chatbooks at the end of each year, they organize all your insta photos and captions into little photo books for you to order online. But I strayed from the idea of making memories to just loosing time in the day scrolling.
Every photo and video I take is for memories, not for followers or to 'fit in'.
Focus on the good. Focus on family.
Our priorities are most visible in how we use our time. Someone has said, “Three things never come back—the spent arrow, the spoken word, and the lost opportunity.” We cannot recycle or save the time allotted to us each day. With time, we have only one opportunity for choice, and then it is gone forever.
