things i know

let’s get the ball rolling for things i know for 2012… Happy friday everyone :) YAY the weekend is nearly here…

1. Being nervous and scared is okay. You might think you have it all down pat, your emotions are under control, but just like that… it can change. Being nervous is okay. Being scared is okay. We should all embrace this a little more maybe

2. Family time is precious. Moments together are precious. Taking time out to spend with your other half is precious. And even a date with a really close and old girlfriend is extraordinarily precious

3. I remember I once went to the zoo and watched the chimpanzees play and frolic in the trees and vines and ropes. I could have watched them for hours. I was so captivated. I was so intrigued. I was so curious about the little little things they were doing. I can not help but be be reminded of this experience as I was my little one… the simple joys, the simple play, the simple curiosity… she is a little bit like a monkey in some ways….. :)

4. The lessons taught only a 20 month old can teach you. Inspiration. Patience. Flexibility. I could sit and watch her for hours.

5. The video camera needs to be taken out a little more often I think.

6. A good laugh is so important. A good moment of true real crackle where nothing else matters…. when was your last time?

7. Sometimes we all need a little reminder from someone else who is truly inspiring and heroic…

“Your time is limited, don’t waste it living someone else’s life. Don’t be trapped by dogma, which is living the result of other people’s thinking. Don’t let the noise of other’s opinion drowned your own inner voice. And most important, have the courage to follow your heart and intuition, they somehow already know what you truly want to become. Everything else is secondary.” – Steve Jobs

    It’s easy to forget the moments isn’t it … and really, that’s all life is … a series of moments. I’m learning to savour them more!
