Reminder

Sometimes it's good to remember that


the presence of a roof over my head, not its size or style, is what matters

a career enjoyed is worth so much more than the size of a paycheck

faith trumps certainty

the present, not the future, is for living

life comes in seasons

happiness is a choice

relationships are better investments than things

comparing people is futile

there is as much good as bad in the world

we can't protect our children from disappointment but we can teach them to be resilient

vulnerability borne of love is beautiful

Everything I know about you (which really is so little from just a blog, but seems like so much for all the thinking we do before we press publish) tells me that you never forgot these things at all.

Beautiful thoughts, my dear. Also remember: what goes up must come down.

So well said! Too often do we put emphasis on the material things of the world, and forget what truly matters. Thank you Rachel!

Thanks for the reminders. It's easy to lose sight of what is important and what is true.
