Meaningful Things

Hustling to pack up for an impromptu overnight

stay, so we'd be close to Mom.

 Deciding on a budget hotel with a pool.

Splashing around and visiting until dusk.

Waking up early to my peeps sleeping in the next bed.

A quick run for convenient store coffee.

Fresh flowers from my garden, coffee mugs, candles, and a Bluetooth speaker

 packed in a vintage picnic basket, to make it all more special.

Streaming an oldie playlist on Spotify, as we shuffle around

like bumper cars getting ready for the day.

Singing out loud & breaking into 30 second dance parties.

Going with the flow, 

and feeling super-happy.

Having an amazing time with my family,

'cuz this is me.

Notes:

Put your heart into the plans, and don't worry about the outcome.

Celebrate what is beautiful about the other people in your life.

All you have is now. 

What you do with the hours you're given is incredibly important.

Choose to pay attention to what is important to you.

Let go of distractions.

Allow life to happen, 

instead of trying to control it.

Make the most of each day.

You are where you are meant to be.

Stop trying to control the process.

Relax and experience it.

"God is stronger than whatever's holding you back."

'You have everything you that you need

now & in the future.

The only thing missing from your dream is you.'

Love the challenges. 

Practice being good at whatever is given to you.

Things aren't going to always be the way 

you want them to be.

Honor and respect it.

Life is going to unfold as it will.

Instead of trying to make it what you want,

take what is, and make it the best it can be.

Live in a way you look back & say,

"I had a good time."

be well...

xoxo
