When I was little I couldn't understand how my mom and dad could love all of us equally. More kiddos would come into our family and it seemed like (at first) that my parents just couldn't love me as much if there was someone else to love more.
Silly, I know. But it was real to me and didn't seem to make sense.
I learned over the years that they did love me and they loved my siblings, too. And there is room enough in everyone's heart to love more and more.
But it wasn't until I became a parent that I really understood what happens in a heart. That incredible way your heart just expands and loves where it never has before. With each new person, new life, new love, my heart has grown in a way it could not have done without that person to fill it.
And bit by bit, that loving is helping my heart to become whole.

Fill your paper with the breathings of your heart ~ William Wordsworth
Why...
You will have significant experiences. I hope that you will write them down & keep a record of them, that you will read them from time to time and refresh your memory of these meaningful significant things. Some of them may be funny. Some may be of significance only to you. Some of them may be sacred and quietly beautiful. Some may build one upon another until they represent a lifetime of special experience.
~ President Gordon B Hinckley
