I have recently spent a week away with my family in Umbria, a most beautiful part of Italy.
It has given me time to stop and step out of my everyday life and the things that fill it. Time to rest. Time to think. Time to be with my family. Time to laugh uncontrollably at silly things and wonderful memories. Time to listen. Time to contemplate. Time to dream. Time to be refreshed and time to be inspired.
When I ask people "what is the most valuable thing in your life?" they often respond with "my family" or "my health". These things are valuable however, I am wondering if 'time' might be the most valuable thing we have in our lives?
Time is so precious. We cannot hold it, we cannot store it away and we never know know how much of it we have left, maybe a lifetime or maybe just a day or two. One thing that we do know about time is that it is one of the greatest gifts we have and one of the greatest gifts that we can give.
What I find really amazing is that we have the privilege of choosing how we spend it!
