We spent the last of the year and first couple of days of the New Year in Monterey and the Big Sur Area. We were able to meet up with my brother and Diana.
On January 2nd, I headed into a chain store and the shelves were being cleared out of the Holiday stuff and Valentine decor was being inserted. I had not evened taken down our Christmas tree and already there were red hearts and chocolate lining the culture of commercialism rows.
I thought back up and just breathe a little!
I am going for a simpler life this year. Chocolates and cards are nice, but they are not my language of love. What I value and hold dear is passionate words of encouragement and time that is well spent. Theses are things you cannot buy in a store and must come from the heart.
And really I just need to breathe.
Let's breathe together!
