With All Your Heart and Soul

The last few weeks have been hard. I feel like I've been running nonstop. Last night Bryan and I went over the calendar for the week and I almost cried. There was just too much to do and too little time in which to do it.

Today I was reading Glimpses Into the Life and Heart of Marjorie Pay Hinckley and a quote from the chapter on optimism stood out to me.

Do whatever you have to do this week; do it with all your heart and soul; and do it cheerfully. To do less than this will leave you with an empty feeling.

I'm still very aware of all that is happening this week, but now I feel strengthened, buoyed up to accomplish what needs to be done and to do so with a happy demeanor. I think this would be considered a tender mercy.
