March seems to have entered like a lion with colder temps and also a little snow here and there. The one plus to all that- is that mixed in with all the wacky weather has also been some sunshine, some of which that I enjoyed today.
I admit, I planned to do a lot more than I actually did today. I did get some things done, but there are others that fell by the wayside simply because I was enjoying the weather.
I also put my ‘to do’ list to the side and spent some time reaching out and connecting with people that matter to me. Nurturing my relationships is something that is very important to me, but I know that like everything- we need to nurture our gardens in life to see them continue to thrive- that can be our actual physical gardens, or the gardens that are our relationships. I believe what we receive is in direct proportion to what we give in our lives. Assuming that we are giving and nurturing our relationships because it matters to us- and not because we want the ‘pay off’. If the intention is wrong, then it throws everything out of balance.
As I get older (and hopefully wiser), I realize more than ever the importance of family and friends. Not ‘any’ family and friends, but those who lift us and others, but also hold a mirror in front of us so that we can see our best selves through them. The ones who encourage us to not only recognize our potential, but also to live it.
Those are the people I want in my life… every … single.. day.
