I REALLY LIVED

I love this quote.  It says a lot of how I feel, think, and live as I view my role as a woman.

Thought I would share this with you.

"I don't want to drive up to the pearly gates in a shiny sports car, wearing beautifully, tailored clothes, my hair expertly coiffed, and with long, perfectly manicured fingernails. I want to drive up in a station wagon that has mud on the wheels from taking kids to scout camp. I want to be there with a smudge of peanut butter on my shirt from making sandwiches for a sick neighbors children. I want to be there with a little dirt under my fingernails from helping to weed someone's garden. I want to be there with children's sticky kisses on my cheeks and the tears of a friend on my shoulder. I want the Lord to know I was really here and that I really lived."   Marjorie Pay Hinckley

What do you live for?

Nice quote can that station wagon have some sweet rims on it and maybe a bumping system
