SPEND TIME TOGETHER

Spend time with your loved ones as much as possible. Support their interests and show encouragement to help them feel good and inspired. Sometimes, you will go out of your way to accommodate them but make it known that everything is worth your while.

THE HEART MATTERS

The heart matters, not just the physical form but all those feelings and emotions that the heart is associated with. It has been said that it is not how attractive one looks nor how deep his pockets are but what is inside the heart that matters most. The heart holds our love, joy, grief, disappointments, expectations and longing, among other things.

As a child I remember memorizing this verse from Proverbs during Sunday School: “A joyful heart is like good medicine, but a broken spirit dries up the bones.”

What would you rather have in your heart that matters most?

#weeklywordinspiration : ALONE TIME

Last week, after spending two days with my parents to be with them on my father’s 79th birthday, I spent some time alone at the beach: a morning and late afternoon stroll along the beach.

It is good to have alone time away from the comfort of your home and even from those that you hold dear. For me, it not only made me miss them and them to miss me (I hope so LOL) but it made me realize that I miss myself too. Being busy as a wife, a mom and with work as a special ed teacher, these rare times help me get in touch with myself.
.
Alone time or “Me Time” allows us listen to our thoughts, unwind, “reboot” and think things or situations through. These times may not provide immediate solutions to issues that occupy one’s mind, but it helps to be able to think clearly and without interruptions. Don’t be guilty spending time alone, just don’t take too long a time.

Q: What do you like to do on your alone time?
