What does it matter

In the course of a life, what does it matter?

I read Walk Two Moons by Sharon Creech for school, its a pretty good book. Not my favorite. BUT it did have these cute little fortunes, if you will. And one forture was In the course of a life, what does it matter?

It really got me thinking, what does it matter? I've been so stressed lately with work, school, applying to nursing school, family, birthdays, tantrums..... That I've kinda just been going on autopilot. I really need to stop and think. What does it matter if I have dishes waiting to be cleaned, when I have a daughter trying to get me to play with her? These moments aren't going to come back.

 I'll always get another dirty dish, I won't always get Zoey as she is today.
