Well I can tell you without even having to think about it, its family and friends. Its not how big your house is or how new your car is but it is the people in your life who enrich you and the way you interact with others that truly matters.
It is laying your head on your pillow at night knowing that you have done all you can to make your home a happy one, knowing that your children are well adjusted happy little people who can be kids in the way they were intended to be, running around with their friends, playing in the dirt finding dinosaur fossils, climbing trees, swimming at the local pool and playing in a mud hole at the back of the garden that you made for them with the hose.
It is about what you fill your precious days with, gardening, coffee with friends, walking through the orchard that you made with your own two hands and squashing the caterpillars that somehow found the only sweet potato plant in the district that you happen to own (I would so love to know how they can do that!)
Some of the brightest moments in my life are when I realise that those dearest to me are thinking of me, whether it be a phone call just to chat, a card in the mail, one of my little ones saying "I love you mama", or the look that my husband of 11 years has when he sees me as he walks through the door after a day at work, these are the things that make life important and meaningful for without these things what would life be?
Just this week a friend of mine gave me a bracelet that was made to 'combat stress' because I had told her that there was something happening in my life that I found stressful so she presented me with a beautiful bracelet to help ease my turmoil, what a beautiful thing to do for someone.
I feel very passionate about the fact that life is way to short and thus we need to fill it with beautiful moments with people who matter most to us and strive to make beautiful moments for those that are dear to us to make their journey through this world a nicer one.
