There are 4 very important words in life:
Love, Honesty, Truth and Respect.
Without these in your in your life, you have nothing.

“We don’t truly appreciate what we have until it’s gone… We don’t really appreciate something until we have experienced some events; we don't really appreciate our parents until we ourselves have become parents. Be grateful for what you have now, and nothing should be taken for granted.”

“We don’t truly appreciate what we have until it’s gone… We don’t really appreciate something until we have experienced some events; we don't really appreciate our parents until we ourselves have become parents. Be grateful for what you have now, and nothing should be taken for granted.” I occasionally catch myself thinking "I can't wait until the kids are a little older so that....". The other day I had that thought, and spontaneously decided to stop what I was doing and play a board game with them. It was probably the only worthwhile decision I made that day.

Great choice Its, that is the best family time, enjoy it while you can. It is soon gone, the family gets much more complex as they get married, new members makes it more complicated.

When I was in my 20s, people showed me how setting aside money in safe investments at a young age would pay enormous dividends upon retirement. I didn't listen to them. But at the very least, I try to make the equivalent investment early with family. Wealth comes in many forms.

I love to think of nature as an unlimited broadcasting station, through which God speaks to us every hour, if we will only tune in.

One day at a time is all we should be dealing with. We can't go back to yesterday and we can't control tomorrow, so live for today.

Loved listening to this (among others) Mary Oliver poem When I Am Among the Trees
When I am among the trees, especially the willows and the honey locust, equally the beech, the oaks and the pines, they give off such hints of gladness. I would almost say that they save me, and daily. I am so distant from the hope of myself, in which I have goodness, and discernment, and never hurry through the world but walk slowly, and bow often. Around me the trees stir in their leaves and call out, “Stay awhile.” The light flows from their branches. And they call again, “It’s simple,” they say, “and you too have come into the world to do this, to go easy, to be filled with light, and to shine.”

I cannot imagine how the clockwork of the universe can exist without a clockmaker.

Your mind is a magnet. If you think of blessings, you attract blessings. If you think of problems, you attract problems. Always cultivate good thoughts and always remain positive and optimistic. We get what we think, so if you think positive, life will be automatically positive.
