Butterflies and Pebbles


Go into this week
with the attitude that
your peace,
your health of mind,
and your heart
mean more than
getting everything else done.

That your smile matters,
That feeling rested matters.
That holding the hand
of your loved ones matter.
So pause lots,
function at a pace
that doesn’t pull you apart.
Honour the things that
make you feel good inside,
the things that make you feel alive.
Give time to those things this week.
Make time the gift it is,
by giving it to what really matters to you.
— S.C. Lourie

    I’m about a week late in reading this treasure, which points to how badly I need it! This is a gem. Thank you.

    This is the way I want to, and sometimes actually do, look at every week. Really I think of every Monday as an opportunity to start whatever I want to do or pursue anew.
