“The real things haven’t changed. It is still best to be honest and truthful; to make the most of what we have; to be happy with simple pleasures; and have courage when things go wrong.”

― Laura Ingalls Wilder

Today is Oliver’s 7th birthday.

I’ve been thinking of this quote a lot in response to all of the uncertainty we’re all facing.

I wanted to send it out on Oliver’s birthday as the day reminds me even more of the importance of leaning in to what really matters.

We have a sweet, funny, happy little boy who is going to enjoy a day spent with his loving family celebrating him and making him feel special.

We will work to forget about all the craziness around and focus on loving on Oliver.

And if we do a good job it will bring joy to all of us.

A joy that will put our worries to the side.

Find some joy today.

Focus on the real things in your life that aren’t changing.

Make it a great day.
