Life is short...

Life is sweet. Life is what we make of it. It is easy to forget in our day to day lives what is truly important to us. It is easy to get caught up in the hustle and bustle of everyday life and we truly forget to take even five minutes a day to our selves or to smell the roses. I am currently sitting in a room in Kona Hawaii with what has been some of the best days of my life. Not because they were extraordinary or extreme, but because they have been simple. We wake up when ever, drink coffee, talk, get food, go to the beach, get dinner, and snack in between. And in between those moments are the most beautiful because of my nephew Henry. It is so easy to forget to look at the world as a child does. It is the simple things that blow their minds, where did we lose this? Weather it be playing with sand, eating gurt " yogurt", or playing with a flash light in the back of the car. It is the simple moments in life to me that mean the most. Every time I hear " Auntie B" or "Book" or anything among the lines of aunt, b, or Brooke, it truly melts my heart. I love being an Aunt, I can only imagine what it is like to be a mother. So take five minutes right now and find something, anything, to be thankful for. Take five minutes to reflect or breath. Just take time every day for yourself, It will make all the difference.
