Good advice to listen to your living friends (and relatives) who know who you are NOW. The 'advice' or voices from the past don't serve who we wish to be today. Here's to more enjoyment and observing those delightful 'small things' that are important in everyday life.

Yes. Friends. The family we choose, the ones who see us as we are. (John O’Donohue said that friendship is first and foremost an act of recognition, of seeing the true soul and finding shelter in the embrace of this familiarity and understanding.) Also, doesn’t it seem sometimes that those small everyday things are like little miracles? The extraordinary ordinary. Thank you so much for reading and commenting, Virginia. I love these conversations…
