I absolutely love that last one. It tells me that even experiences (or mainly experiences) make up how rich how I am. I feel that at my core. I don't tend to hold onto a lot of stuff in the physical sense, and if you saw where I lived, you'd laugh. It's pretty sparse. Yet my life now feels more abundant than it's ever felt.

I hope you have a super week, Hilda!

Hi Hilda,
That first quote really rings so true for me. I'm believing this more and more each day - at just how important the little things really are in life. And that they often are what matter the most. So good to read these today...

Thanks Megan, I'm having a crazy week, but a great one too : ) (My move to the west is definitely on - hooray!)

I'm with you on the letting go of physical stuff. Though I wouldn't use the term "sparse" to describe my home yet, I'm definitely loosing more and more needless clutter as time goes by.

Hi Lance,

The first and the last are my faves. A few months back I choose "The best things in life aren't things" as my theme. I absolutely feel in every fibre of my being that the best things in life are the little things, as you said. In fact, there really is nothing little about them at all : )

Hilda! The move west is on!! Woohoo!! I'm really happy for you!

This is a great reminder for me. I am learning more and more the value of savoring the small things, moments, and time in my life.

Me too Carla, and it's a wonderful blessing! Thanks for your comment : )
