The moments that matter

With work consuming my time and my thoughts it was great to take a day to spend with the family and be reminded of the moments that matter. Sometimes I forget that it is the simple things that bring me the most joy and I should work to live and not live to work.  It seems that todays society is in a big rush to gain all this wealth which they believe will bring them happiness or buy things that will make them happy. It is this attachment to "things" that keeps us from the happiness we seek.

Having trouble with finding the right words to finish this Starbucks has come to my rescue.   While I was writing this I started reading "The way I see it #198" on a Tai Chi Latte and this is the quote:

" You can shower a child with presents or money, but what do they really mean, compared to the most valuable gift of all - your time? Vacations and special events are nice, but so often the best moments are the spontaneous ones. Being there. Every moment you spend with your child could be the one that really matters." 

Thank you Starbucks
