Re: Finding time in my hectic life!

You're so right, its so easy to get caught up and taken away by the stresses and strains of everyday life, it really is back to basics, taking in the things that we take for granted. I shall try and be more observant! :thinking:

Thank you so much for your opinions. :bow:

I can see the help that 'reminder' tattoo's can give, for instance if you are getting angry, a buddha reminder on you a...
