"I have found one of the best ways to examine the life you are living is asking yourself, 'Will I regret this?' I picture myself in a rocking chair on a front porch, watching my grandchildren, or great grandchildren play on the lawn. Will I look back with peace in my heart? Will I say, 'I wish I would have slowed down and savored every moment?' It's not really a fun thing to do, but it always enables you to spit out the right answer. It always tells me to stay focused, run against the grain of the times, and enjoy the small moments. It reminds me to stay strong and centered about what I want to believe...that simply raising your children, being a mother and a wife, is enough, when everything we read and hear and see is sending us the opposite message. To say 'no' to the excess's of life, and 'yes' to the things that really count."
Slow down and everything you are chasing will come around and catch you. ~John De Paola
