Uplift Your Life: Nourishment Of The Spirit

Our values and hard-earned wisdom may be the most important legacy we give our children. We can leave it to chance and hope they heard us when we were alive or we can choose to make sure that our message is clearly stated. When my mother passed away, she didn't intentionally leave anything for me in the way of wisdom. My only window into the parts of herself that she kept private were some scraps of paper that she had saved. On one of those pieces of paper she had written: The gift is the present. My mother was not someone who saved many things. That she kept this piece of paper was significant. It helped me see my mother in a new light. She was always worried about something and lived with a lot of anxiety. It felt like this was her ethical will, telling me that there was a better, easier way to live and that even though she hadn't been able to achieve it for herself, she hoped that I would.
