Low Key

One week ago the minister's sermon included a charming story about keys: two unlikely friends met for coffee. One put his keys on the table and the other asked, "do all of those keys fit to something you own?" After agreeing the keys fit to his house, car, boat, and so on, the other asked, "are you sure you own them or do they own you?" A week later I am still applying that question to myself: do I own my stuff or does it own me??? Cheers to pursuing a low key life! Xoxo-BLC

PS: Ohhh and a special happy birthday to my future mother-in-law! :)

  1. OMG - My minister had a similar sermon this week about "things" and how that is not part of a fulfilling life. How cool. I have been thinking a lot about it too. I get so wrapped up in the newest, latest, most trendy things that I sometimes forget that's not what it's all about. Great reminder, thank you! :)
