Our Schedules Are Not Our Lives

"We all underestimate our need for joy. If we are not careful, we live as if our schedules are our lives. We cross one thing after another off the list. At the end of the day, we have completed our chores, but we haven’t necessarily been present for our own experiences."

- Mary Pipher, Seeking Peace (A quote included in the post A Shot in the Heart over at Graceful, Faith in the Everyday)
