More Truth, Less Shoulds

My goal for 2012 is honesty.  Honesty within myself.  (Not with James and the Santa thing...that would be a disaster.)

The best things in life are not seen, nor touched, they are felt with the heart.  -Helen Keller

My mom has this saying embroidered in a frame and hanging in her bedroom.  I've read it hundreds of times, mostly while putting away folded laundry.  I picture it right now, sitting here. It's outlined by her rose colored bedroom wall. I feel her carpet squish between my bare toes.  The smell of old shoes and clothes jogs my memory back. Did my mom read this daily? Is this how she leads her life? Knowing what I know I can answer yes.

It's the simple things in life.  So I will Simplify.
It's about living in the moment.  So I will be Mindful.
It's about becoming a better person. So I will Reflect.

It's time to slow down.
