Catching the Bucket


This month I am honored, and a little freaked out, to have the opportunity to "catch the bucket."
My dear friend, Motherboard, tossed it to me. If you aren't following her over at Crazyland, and don't know about her amazing Bucket Fillers, well, first of all, you should go follow her and read her blog. She is amazing. Every day, she posts some little tidbit of inspiration for all of us admirers of her to live by. And now, she's passing that privilege over to me.

And I'm feeling incredibly unworthy to be filling such big shoes (not that she has big feet...oh you know what I mean). It's daunting, this prospect of doing the bucket fillers. Because I don't consider myself to be all that inspiring, or inspired for that matter. But, I will share the things in my life that bring me joy, and hopefully you will get something from it too!

So, without further adieu, for today's bucket filler, I'm cheating and using the quote that I posted yesterday.

"Life is meant to be enjoyed, not just endured." - Gordon B. Hinckley

Today is the last day of holiday break before the grind begins again. Go do something fun with your family. And ENJOY your day!!

I do hope you and your darling family have a blessed and happy New Year!
Have fun with that bucket girl! You will do great!

I clicked over after finding out you have taken over the Bucket Fillers. I enjoyed them so much when they appeared over at Crazyland, that I hope you don't mind me stopping in to see them here!
