What Matters at the End of the Day…

nancyI love how we learn from each other through the most casual of conversations.  My wise, zany, sweet friend, mother of 8, with whom I laugh often, simplified her outlook on life by saying…

“You know, I’ve decided that even too many good things are not good. If at the end of the day I have cuddled and read to my little ones, and have listened to the dreams of my older ones, I’ve done what I’m supposed to do.”

Thanks, Nanc ;-)
