My life revolves around Princesses. With 3 of my own and many more I sew for I am constantly surrounded by princesses.
Yesterday I attended a ward in So. UT and The girl teaching the RS lesson read the Parable of the Princesses. I've heard it before but yesterday as I sat and listened it became rather obvious which Princess I am.
I am the busy one, Sara. I know, shocker, right? But that Princess didn't make time for what was most important, building her castle. I am busy from the moment I get up until I fall back into bed early the next morning. The things I do all during the day aren't bad, and they do benefit my family but what is the MOST beneficial to my family? What does my castle look like? How I am teaching my Princesses to build their castles?
I haven't made any new master plans, yet, but I am more aware of how I am spending my time and looking for ways to add bricks daily to my castle.

I don't think that parable has hit the SF circuit. But I googled it and I love the analogy. I think I'm most like Sara as well, but sometimes almost to a fault. Thanks for the insight.
