Wisdom of a Mother

People are more important than things

Loving, caring and being compassionate with people is far more rewarding than ownership of inanimate things. People are more important than things.

Possessions clutter your life and soul.  People enrich your being.

Dedicated to my mother and the wonderful two little boys in our family who represent the next generation arriving.
