I’ve spent a good part of my own life living the concept of wanting MORE, a better car, house, things that someone had and I didn’t. It wasn’t until I lost my entire family (except you my darling daughter, wonderful son and husband) that I realized I would always just want more and more. Nothing would fill the void, until I figured out that true happiness and peace were two things already inside me, I just had to find them. By letting go of all monetary desires and wishing for a better life I grew thankful for the life I already had and found contentment and freedom in NOT always looking for more. Being “grateful & thankful” for what I have has helped me stop and be still and to enjoy the life and love I have. Love & peace to you, Mom.
