How are you being tested and measured? The Way I See Things, when we are twisted, stretched, and pressured it is to strengthen us. It is to prevent us from collapsing. It is to build a thing of beauty and enduring significance

What Would You Take?

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.

What would you do with 547,600? Are you thinking of all the things you could buy, bills you could pay, places you could go? I'm not talking about money. I'm talking about the way you would spend all the minutes in a year.
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!
