The most important things are not things they’re people – that’s what I keep realizing.
It’s 2 : 07 PM on day 2022 of my journey towards independence and I managed to pray, read 3 John 1, have breakfast, learn one new thing –The Hunchback of Notre-Dame (French: Notre-Dame de Paris) is a French Romantic/Gothic novel by Victor Hugo published in 1831. The title refers to the Notre Dame Cathedral in Paris, on which the story is centered.– hang out with my sister, spent time with our neighbor she came over to drop of a gift for my birthday and hang out (i didn’t have the heart to tell her i was forgoing gifts) – have breakfast, go drop my sister at the airport and work on my 25 Smiles Campaign – raised $3 822 only $2 428 more to raise by 10 Jan 2017 (SO SO SO GRATEFUL to everyone who has supported this campaign so far 
).
Yesterday spending time with my family I realized yet again that the most important things are not things they’re people so often in life we get so caught up in the pursuit of money, possessions and success that we forget what’s really important.
Ah, Notre Dame!
Listening to a programme about Chartres Cathedral and its gross and subtle ways.
Happy trails to your sister.
Your neighbour’s presence and continuing mutuality was a gift in itself. [Gifts are not one of my native love languages – think of language loss/drift].
If money – possessions – success – bring people closer to us or remind us of people I think they may become more important than things would be by themselves.
And if things are important we do not forget them. Though if we don’t pay active attention and input we may lose.
I would have called Notre Dame a Gothic book.
i agree if things have meaning they are important 🙂
Because “What does this mean to you” and “What is important about this thing” are two similar though subtly different questions which were paired together for me in the 1980s. And by “paired”, Nisha, I mean “chained”.
😮 with awe.
Absolutely those two questions are interlinked 🙂
