Five Wishes...

I just finished a book called Five Wishes: How Answering One Simply Question Can Make All Your Dreams Come True. It is a very quick read and since it kept my interest so well I never even got a chance to add it to my list of "books I am currently reading." I really enjoyed it. I am still putting together my own "five wishes" however ironically enough another book I had waiting to read has helped me dive into one of my wishes though.

So for my AP (attachment parenting) group I am in they picked the book Living Simply with Children for their book club. So for the first time I decided I was going to find the time to join in on this book. I have had the book sitting here for a while just waiting to pick it up and read it so after I finished Five Wishes I did. I am really enjoying the book. It is helpful to me defining what my values truly are since so often I find myself getting lost in other people's rather than staying true to my own. I think that is quite easy in the society we live in. We set our values hopefully in line with our spirit and most often live our life according to them but once and while we find ourselves (or at least I do at times) second guessing many choice we make based on our personal set of values when we hear so much about what our lives should be like. It is encouraging to read about ways that we can keep ourselves in line with what is most important to us and finding ways of worrying less about what others believe.

So for my first wish....
My life is a complete and total success (read the book!) because I live by and raise my children by my own personal set of values which includes slowing down and enjoying the wonderful moment I am in at any given time!
