*find the time*

*find the time*

The time to read.

to smell the flowers,

to paint your dreams,

to have coffee with a friend,

to learn a new craft,

to write a letter,

to bake a surprise cake,

to go somewhere special,

to REALLY be with the person you

love,

or even to do nothing for a

while...

Love this....its a great reminder to slow down and enjoy those seemingly "little things" that often pay the biggest dividends!

[Rita May]

good reminder. may I post this on my blog with a link back to you?

[Eugenia]

Pure truth. The hardest part is to simply do nothing. We woke this morning to pouring rain. All of us ran outside to sit on the porch, closed our eyes and listen.

What an amazing gift.

[Ceekay]

I love this!!

[Susan]

My hubby says I do not know how to nothing! He can sit on the patio for hours just watching the birds. Twenty minutes and I have to do something else.

[Tanya]

Why is it that is the hardest thing to do? I feel guilty doing nothing! I need to get over that.

[Kathi]

I agree. sometimes all we do is go go go, and we forget to appreciate what we have; friends, flowers, nature and to be thankful. Thanks for the reminder. Life is too short. Kathi

Love this! It is so true we just need to slow down and enjoy life. It has so much to offer us. May I share this on my blog? I'll link it back to you.

Love it and so true that I (we) need to slow down and take the time to do the important things!

[Stacey]

That's so wise. We've surely enjoyed a little extra time this weekend...and a homemade pecan pie. :)

[Tracey]

Tina..you are so right...taking time for the little things of life's enjoyment..priceless!

[Elsie]

Nice Tina.....REALLY NICE. I am going in the morning to drink coffee with my friend
that I have had coffee with every week for the last 30yr. Life is too short not to stop and smell the roses. Great post!!!

[Marilyn]

It's such a good reminder of how the simple things in life, are the best!!

You know what I'm absolutely the worst at? Doing nothing! Terrible, it's something I need to learn. Thanks for these reminders...you're so sweet!

Hi Tina! It makes me think of the Bible verse that says, "Be still and know I am God." LOVE your post!

Hi Tina,

Doing nothing, but reading and listening to the music on your blog.

[Susanne]

So true. We all need to slow down and enjoy the simple things that matter most.

[Linda]

Love this post, it is so very true! By the way, I love your light! Did you put the mason jars on yourself or did you purchase it? Please tell us!
