 "May today there be peace within. May you trust that you are exactly 

 where you are meant to be. May you not forget the infinite possibilities

 that are born of faith in yourself and others. May you use the gifts that

 you have received, and pass on the love that has been given to you. May you 

 be content with yourself just  the way you are. Let this knowledge settle into your 

 bones, and allow your soul the freedom to sing, dance, praise and love. It is there for each 

 and every one of us."

I received this in an email from a friend of mine.  She thought that I would benefit from these words.  I loved it and I thought this would be something inspiring to put on Adventure Mommy.  The line that stuck with me was "may you be content with yourself just the way you are".  That is what life is all about.  And that's what I've been working on this last while.  Just to be.  To let go.  To accept.  To forgive.  I had an ah-haa moment the other day.  I have always said that marriage is hard work.  And it is.  There are smooth times and bumpy times.  But all relationships that are worth it take work.  So we have to decide which ones are worth it and which ones aren't.  And it's these keepers -  these relationships - that we cultivate that contribute to our lives in wonderful ways.  

Keep smiling!
