What is NOT important

These last few months.....ok, almost a year.....have forced me to really think about what is important and what is NOT important. So many times we get caught up in things that do not matter. They consume us to the point that we stress and stress until we are sick with worry. Where we live, I am constantly struggling with this because we are surrounded by wealth, beauty, and just stuff in general.....stuff that, in the end, does NOT matter. Every day I looked at my little one's face and just think how great it would be to be one again. The simplicity of life, the joy over little things, having fun with a stick and a hockey net for hours on end. What happens when we grow up? I am making a New Year's resolution early to focus....refocus on what is important and not on things that are not. I will not waste my time on certain people rather spend time with the ones that I know love me unconditionally. I will not spend time stressing about who has what and if that laundry is done or not. I want to spend more time doing things that my kids will remember. This picture is a little grainy but I love it because this is what makes these two happy....playing together which costs nothing.
