My Pitcher Runneth Over

For an example take a water pitcher and fill it with golf balls. Each ball represents the routine things we do each day. Like: prayer, scripture reading, personal hygiene, cooking, cleaning, buying groceries, preparing meals, caring for children and husbands.

Now you think your pitcher is full. No! You can still add marbles, lots of them. Each marble represents: being a taxi driver, taking children to school, ball practices,piano lessons, dance lessons, soccor practices, swimming lessons, PTA meetings, and Church meetings, Visiting Teaching, Service to others, helping the poor and needy.

So now, you think your pitcher is full. No way! You can add water to make it full and run over. This represents the other fun things, we like to do. Exercise, Crafts, and Hobbies, maybe a full or part time job, education.

Now your pitcher runneth over.
This week I actually said NO!
No, to hemming a Prom dress for someone else, the solution was to buy higher heels,that worked.
No! To Speaking in Relief Society, due to I couldn't see good enough to prepare a lesson. The President did a great job.
No! To teaching a child to sew, because I can't even see well enough to thread a needle yet. I suggested another lady to teach her to sew.
No! To exercise each day, because my hip was out of place.
Yes, I actually said NO! Can you believe it, I finally decided, it didn't hurt me to say No!
