All That Matters

Somewhere in the midst of my busy day...
Somewhere between the teaching of a lesson and a meeting about inventory...
Sometime after I checked out the 347th book of the day...
Sometime before I packed up my bag and walked out of my office...
I read this....

"The Real To Do List"
  1. Sing
  2. Smile at strangers.
  3. Keep learning
  4. Notice kindess.
  5. Eat ice cream.
  6. Hope.
  7. Count your blessings.
  8. Laugh.
  9. Love.
  10. Love some more.
I have this little saying on my desk. It is on a plaque that sits on a stand and it is written in bright and cheerful colors. I bought it a few years ago after I made the hard decision to not finish a grad program I was in. I needed a dose of daily encouragement and this seemed to do the trick. Among the papers and post-its and pens and messages, it sits...and today it caught my attention. Yes, I see it everyday but for some reason I took a few quick moments to read over it today. 

It really put things into perspective for me.

Don't let the little things bog you down.

All that matters is loving, laughing, learning, growing, and loving some more.

At the end of the day, that's all that really matters.
