In all our big thinking and goal setting, we must remember that it is the small things that make all the difference in relationships!

A kind look.

A sincere apology.  A hot meal.

A hand on a shoulder.  Some undivided attention.  Forgiveness.

And when it comes right down to it, what we all need most in life is to have strong relationships with our family and friends!

So in goal setting, (I am reminding myself!) that the truly great things that will happen this year, will most likely be the small and simple acts of kindness and grace that occur between loved ones.  Which means in part, not overbooking life, so that we can create unhurried, daily, memorable moments together. To work together, play together, eat together and enjoy each other!  It’s crazy, but it may be more difficult to UN-schedule ourselves than to try to squeeze in one more thing!

It’s also true that when we get running too fast, (speaking to myself again) we often don’t feel well, and then it’s much harder to cultivate relationships,to be patient or to offer solace. An important goal for us moms could be immersing ourselves in self-care on a regular basis!  It is such a loving thing to do for everyone’s sake!

“I am making time and space for the people in my life who mean so much to me, and I am caring for them by first caring for myself.”

Be well!

Love,

Jacque
