As always, there were many wonderfully inspiring talks given at General Conference. The one talk, for me, that has had the most lasting impression was President Monson's entitled, "Finding Joy in the Journey." I loved every single word of it, but the phrase that has lingered in my mind is, "If you are still in the process of raising children, be aware that the tiny fingerprints that show up on almost every newly cleaned surface, the toys scattered about the house, the piles and piles of laundry to be tackled will disappear all too soon and that you will—to your surprise—miss them profoundly." It is there on the fridge, right next to a plethora of fingerprints. I find it hard to fully believe, but I hope that if I keep re-reading the quote, it will sink in and make me feel a bit less stress as I look at the level of uncleanliness we live in at this stage life.
