I've found a wonderful book of quotes for mothers, and it's been so inspiring to me. I want to take the time and share them with you - even if you're not a mother; they still apply to LIFE!
"Enjoy the little things, for one day you may look back and discover they were the big things." Unknown
Too often, life keeps us so busy that our heads are LITERALLY spinning! We're going so fast that we don't even remember the last thing we committed to doing: keep in mind, you just said it 5 minutes ago. This world has come to a sad place. I believe we're now called the microwave generation: "quick" "fast" "now" "needed it YESTERDAY"...
Our state of mind, what we focus on, and think about determines how we will perceive and appreciate life. Don't let it pass you by.
If you used to do this, start up again: STOP and smell the roses.
When your spouse, your sister/brother, child asks for your attention, appreciate them enough to drop what you're doing and spend the time listening. These moments...these small moments, once they're gone, are not promised to return.
How many people in this world, after losing a loved one, recount the LAST encounter they had? Don't allow the last memory to be one of you ignoring them; they just may have wanted to say, "I LOVE YOU!"
