Life is about finding moments that fill you and make you smile.
Yesterday was one of those moments.

A waterfront, outdoor piano.
My three boys and our wonderful friend and piano teacher.
Smiles and claps from passerby’s.
A man joining us to play some Chopin.
Steven Tyler, from Aerosmith, playing on the same piano later in the afternoon.
I am very proud of my outdoor piano players.

What moments will make you smile today?
As I watched my littlest one fly through the air on the chairlift, I thought of air, the importance of breathe and God’s Holy Spirit.
This is how my mind works these days, simple moments become incredible moments.
I can be sitting watching my boys play with Lego and I feel love and warmth pour over me like a dousing of water over my head.
I may be listening to a woman speak about her health struggles and I want to bawl my eyes out with sadness.
Often, I see women with their moms and I want to lie flat on the ground, humbled by what I have lost and amazed at how present my mom was in our lives.
Today, I come back to air.
To my breathe.
To God’s Holy Spirit.
I will seek with my whole heart the significance of breathe.
And I will breathe.
Deeply.
Full of gratitude.
I love this journey.
Life.
Alive.
Air.
Breathe.
Breath.
Life-giving Holy Spirit.
I read in the Four Hour Work Week that we only use twenty percent of the things that we have. Actually Tim Ferriss has an interesting perspective on the 80 20 rule. Check him out: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_4-Hour_Workweek
The last three weeks, I have spent decluttering and going through our stuff so that we can put our house up for sale.
Here are the results:
These are the main “kid” areas of our house and they were overflowing with toys. There were toys on top of shelves, stuffed into corners. Now everything has a place to go. We had a great morning of playing and it was amazing to see my boys putting things back into their places (without being asked)!
All this decluttering makes me thinking of the verse in Matthew 16:19 where Jesus says: “Whatever you bind on earth will be bound in heaven and whatever you loose on earth will be loosed in heaven.”
I want to hold loosely to my stuff on earth because it is only “stuff”.
It is the people in my life that truly matter. JC running into my arms after Kindergarten with a huge smile. CC giving me his little smirk as he tells me a joke and baby OC’s squawk as he yells from the top of the bunkbed. Sexy Necks presence as he holds us all together!
Beautiful moments.
P.S. Don’t ask me to show you our parents basement where alot of this “stuff” has gone. I am thinking we should just have a garage sale instead of moving it. Cann boys, what do you think?
