Gift #21. Breathe.

Sitting quietly, doing nothing, spring comes, and the grass grows by itself.’ ~Zen Proverb 
So this whole "sitting quietly" idea got thrown out the window recently. Life just got extremely busy. New job. More chores around the house than normal. Vacationing every weekend this month takes a lot of time and planning. I'm not complaining. I just need to adjust to our new normal and create quiet, reflective moments amidst the chaos.

If you ever feel that you want to experience a deeper level of peace in your daily life, I highly recommend my favorite thought provoking blogger, Leo Babauta and his blog www.zenhabits.net. 
I love people. I love my family, my children…but inside myself is a place I live all alone and that's where you renew your springs that never dry up. --Pearl S. Buck
