mantra to remember


in this busy.can do.do everything world i often forget that if i don't do everything then it's still okay.
if i don't achieve every dream
or read every best seller
or sew everything on my wish list.
if i don't clean the house as well as i should
or have a perfect dinner prepared every evening for my family
or have freshly folded laundry put away in every cupboard.

life will be okay.
yes, i can do anything.
but i need to learn that i don't have to do everything.
