It is all to easy to get carried away by life. Busy planning our future, stressing about money or worrying about Addison's safety. When I stop, literally, to smell the lillies, I find a fresh perspective on what I am doing and why it matters.

The Little Things
Every once in a while I get a gentle reminder that it is the little things in life that matter the most. The little things, like Dylan walking in the door with lillies (my favorite) and a bottle of wine in his hands. Or Addison climbing up on my lap, giving me a hug and saying, "Mom, you're the best. I love you this much." With her little arms outstretched as far as she can get them.
