I read a quote today that made me think about what is important in life.
“In the end nothing we do or say in this lifetime will matter as much as the way we have loved one another.”
-Daphine Rose Kingma -
In the hussle and bustle of our busy days it is really easy to get caught up in the daily details and forget what is important in life. Often it takes some kind of trauma, the death if a loved one, an end to a relationship, or a life threatening illness to wake us up to what matters. Remembering what is important gives us the graciousness to take the time ou of our day for someone, make the phone call, send the card, or not say that bitter nasty comment to someone that we have on the tip of our tongue. When I have taken the time to remember what it is important, I have found I generate more loving kindness in my life. I take the time to smile at a stranger, to pass along a nice gesture or comment. It is really that simple.
Peace and love
