Refugees in Georgia are being forced from their homes with just minutes to gather belongings. They don't know if they will ever return. In this week's Mothering MOMent we are exploring the question, "What would you take?" Please read it and post your answer.

The Way I See Things, and I am including myself here, we spend our precious minutes on things that don't matter in the long run. We get bogged down in the busyness and detail. What really matters moves to the end of the line. We miss this moment and this day, because we are busy planning and moving on to the next. Stop, relax,find the joy and Enjoy!
