This quote completely sums up how I've been feeling lately. It's so easy to get consumed by busy schedules, tiny problems, things that just don't go your way, and forget to bring ourselves back to earth and be reminded just how good we have it. I used to think that in order to be truly happy and fulfilled, I would need money, fame, a fast paced life on top. If anything could have proven me wrong, it would be moving to Boise, where the desired speed is slow, where everyone is pretty normal, and where striking a work/life balance is a career aspiration. I feel incredibly blessed to get little heart flutters or to break out in a grin when I see my boy and my dog playing in the yard, when I make a really good cookie, or when my favorite song comes on the car radio. Sure, I still miss the hustle and bustle of the big city and I wouldn't be surprised if we ended up in one again, but right now, this is perfectly nice.
