Book Cover & Preview Text
Many books I have read say that when you focus on something you see it everywhere. One of my main takeaways from my mother’s death was time. How valuable time is, and how grateful we should be with the time we have. Now I see quotes about how precious time is everywhere, to take advantage of the time that we do have. To be thankful for every moment. Maybe it’s because time means more to me now that I see reminders everywhere. Every morning now when I wake up, I thank God for the time, for the day ahead. I have learned to be grateful for the moments and memories I am able to make every day.
