Tiny flowers in tiny fingers— it really is THE MOST IMPORTANT WORK!
Friends, don’t ever, EVER, fall for the lie that your most important work lives in your to-do list, your paycheck, your social standing, your volunteer status, your title, or any other achievement. Those are all just extra-credit! Your MOST IMPORTANT work is your family! Mother Teresa said it best when she said, “if you want to change the world to home and love your family.” Take good care of yourself, body and soul, so you can take good care of them, body and soul! I firmly believe this focus is the path to both a long life and Heaven!
Go to church, read the daily gospel, pray, go for long walks, cook good meals, play outside, laugh, watch old movies, play fun games, snuggle, cheer on the sidelines, sing beautiful songs, read great books, dance, listen, learn, give big hugs, share tiny flower bouquets, doing all these things—and with your family, this is the recipe to living well, having done the MOST IMPORTANT WORK! Pay close attention to the things not included in this list!
