What really matters?

What really matters?

Work. Work. Work. Project. Project. Project. Deadline. Deadline. Deadline. Yes, it matters. But bigger picture, what am I here for? To share even the smallest act of support and kindness. To be fully present for those in my work and personal life. To remember I can't be the best for others if I'm not taking care to be the best for myself. To breathe the spring air and notice the goldfinch has returned to the front yard garden after a long cold, gray winter. Wishing you a day filled with what matters most. (Mike Barzacchini photo)
