I WISH YOU ENOUGH

ENOUGH

After reading this article I decided that I would use the word ENOUGH as the word and
attitude I wanted to focus on this year.

I feel that when we always get what we want, we want more.
It's hard to feel satisfied with our stuff when we are not without.

Stuff owns us.

We have to work for it,
be away from family for it,
pay for it,
move it,
dust it,
store it.

It doesn't satisfy.

When we are always at a frenetic pace, we don't know how to enjoy the calm or the quiet.

I have enough stuff.
I want to enjoy the calm.

Enough looking back at yesterday.
It steals my today.

Enough questioning if I could have done more.
If I could have done better.

Enough.

It is enough.

I am so glad you shared that article. It really fits with my current mind set these days. Which is time with family is enough for me. Things are great. But, time with those I love is what really matters. :) Wishing you enough, for the New year!

What a fantastic word & compelling sentiment regarding ENOUGH. If I didnt have my word already, I would totally join you in that focus this year. Love & adore you! Have been still fighting this illness, but wanted to be sure to thank you for the festive happy mail you sent! (If I already thanked you then I apologize for the poor memory & I blame my meds. But if not then I didnt want to be ungrateful.) Thank you for being a magnificent friend! ::hugs::

Very interesting post Tauna - and very insightful. As I get closer and closer to the winter of my life, well who am I fooling - I'm smack dab in the middle! As I was saying I have reached the point that I not only have enough, I have way too much. I don't deserve all that I have. And that's God's grace in a nutshell. :) blessings, marlene

Hello honey
Great post and I am so guilty of what you wrote... Enough questioning if I could have done more.
If I could have done better.
Every new year I keep promising myself not to be so hard on myself.
Hope your doing well.
I miss blogging. I have to buy a new computer. Posting is almost impossible.
Love ya
Maggie

That is a very good word! You are so right it is so easy to feel like there isn't ever enough but then you will never be happy

Heather said...

That is a great word!

Great advice! I love it.
I know that our Heavenly Father loves us enough for all of our successes, and all of our struggles too :)

Thanks for sharing, my friend.
