Happy New Year

A Happy New Year to you all! I love this quote by Mother Teresa 

 Be faithful in small things because it is in them that your strength lies.” 

I want to enjoy the small things in life. Smell the flowers that bloom, and relish in the divine gift that life is, and the joy and privilege it is to simply be alive. To move and to breathe. I am blessed.

I don't really believe in New Years Resolutions, but I do believe that this time of year is a good time, more than ever to re-evaluate our lives, what we stand for, where our lives are headed, to breathe deeply, and to let go. I stumbled across this quote and I love it.

" If you want to identify me, ask me not where I live, or what I like to eat, or how I comb my hair, but ask me what I am living for, in detail, ask me what I think is keeping me from living fully for the thing I want to live for."
