Learning who we came from

We each have and live our own lives, but have you ever wondered about the lives of those ancestors who you came from?

Their stories can be fascinating, to be sure. Take the time to ask your grandparents and other older relatives, to tell you the story of THEIR life and about THEIR parents and THEIR grandparents. You will learn some interesting things that will help you know more about them and their feelings and thoughts and how they dealt with situations in their life. Then record these stories for your own posterity to have. But it’s important to understand and know who we each came from because they are certainly a part of us.

Simplify our life

Sometimes we can get so caught up in the mechanics and rush of living our life that we forget to MAKE time to relax and enjoy it. That’s when we need to find ways to simplify some of the things we do….maybe even eliminating a few of the stress causers and heavy social activities that demand our time and zap our energy. Life should be filled with joy, so we need to take the time to slow down and really see and appreciate all the beauty that surrounds our life.
