La Vida!

Oh my dear friend!

Do you realize how fast life goes?

We wake up everyday with so much in our heads and such a long list of things to do. Then we go to bed at night feeling that we still need to do a lot more next day. And that's a cycle that never ends. It is like that everyday, every week, every year... Do you realize that this race has an end? It is a fact that one day we are going to stop the race because it is life's nature. So in the end what is life? Should we call it a race? Or: 

A. POWELL DAVIES:

Life is just a chance to grow a soul.

ABRAHAM LINCOLN:

And in the end, it's not the years in your life that count. It's the life in your years.

ANNE WILSON SCHAEF:

Life is a process. We are a process. The universe is a process.

ANNIE DILLARD:

How we spend our days is, of course, how we spend our lives.

CORITA KENT:

Life is a succession of moments. To live each one is to succeed.

DOROTHY THOMPSON:

Only when we are no longer afraid do we begin to live.

ELBERT HUBBARD:

Do not take life too seriously. You will never get out of it alive.

I love the last one so much :) It makes me smile because it is so right. Why don't we just slow down and smile? Let's run in slow motion :) That's what I try to do all the time but then I forget.

Thank you for letting me share these little ideas with you. It is good to remember them once in a while.

Lots of love to you! And-now-I-will-be-leaving-in-small-motion...

It is a good thing my very heavy winter antlers have fallen off :)
