I've been in Florida for almost 2 weeks visiting my snowbird parents.
Getting space from the busyness (that is both inherent and self-induced) of modern life, always reminds me how important it is to slow down.
Take a breath, get present, and enjoy this beautiful life.

"Remember this, that very little is needed to make a happy life" - Marcus Aurelius

In our busy lives, we often rush past happiness in our pursuit of it.
When we slow down enough to get present to what's actually important, we remember that happiness isn't about being perfect, the new clothes, or approval from others.
It's so much simpler than that, and we get to create it for ourselves.
