Slow down...

....dawdle and linger

 take the scenic route

pause instead of rushing past

  make the stops along the way

keep your heart open

so the ordinary joys

the everyday miracles

can float in

 freely

when they will

every single day.

notes:

I can't think of a better gift than just being his mom..

but him slaving over a hot stove to fix me dinner?

OMG! The best!

'God is not in the earthquake, the storm,

or the lightning,

but the gentle breeze with which touches

your back.' 

just be available

listen

draw near

look at things that actually exist,

not all the things that don't

don't live distracted

allow space

enjoy the fulness of nothing

it's the moment that magic happens

stand firm in your faith

'God has already given you

everything you need to

lead a beautiful life.

Take inventory.'

look beyond the surface

look for the lessons

look for meaning

play your part well

the best is ahead of you

life is short

make choices that matter

'perfection is being who and where you are today;

it's accepting and loving yourself

just as you are.'

allow yourself pleasure

you're worth it

breathe deep and know peace

without knowing what comes next

be well...

xoxo

"I don't ever crave extraordinary moment

anymore.

Just small, gentle hums of beauty

streaming from below,

above, simply from paying attention.

Sound. Light. Shadow.

Art. Warmth. The night.

The morning.

Dreams that are not faraway

but exist right here-

already in my days,

hands, and heart."

"It occurs to you one day that the reason 

God didn't always answer your prayers

is that He was answering your

Mom's prayers."

"Remember, being happy doesn't mean you have it all.

It simply means your thankful for all you have."
