“I would like to share what I’ve discovered in my considerable years of experience. The secret is a simple word and will at first, without contemplation, sound rather flat but give it some thought. We have been raised to have high expectations and excel for excellence — to be the most, the best, the ultimate. And, although I still believe we should work hard and strive for a better life, my contention and my prayer for those I love is that they will find the life they have chosen to be ENOUGH. I believe that word is the most underestimated word in our culture. To look at your husband, family and friends and think this life is enough… What a gift from God!”
Some of my favorite words, left as a blog comment by my aunt earlier this year. I love the truth of her statement. Every time I start to get impatient, I remind myself that what I already have is enough.
Thank you, Aunt Debby!
We always think that achieving specific milestones will fix everything, but really they’re just icing on the cake!
