Happy Easter to all of those celebrating!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

(I\u00b4m afraid I\u00b4m not very original, every year I open with this very same sentence... If you feel like reading my thoughts on Easter from previous years, you will find them here<\/a>, here<\/a> and here<\/a>.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This week, I\u00b4ve had the luxury of being on holidays, enjoying family time and the opportunity to do things at my own pace (or at least, less hurriedly than usual).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

(Photo of the interior of Galway Cathedral, which we visited a few days ago. The outside is quite simple, but the inside is really beautiful in my opinion, and it came in very handy on this trip as a temporary shelter from the rain.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In these accelerated times we live in, having the power to slow down for a few days is indeed a true luxury... A luxury that\u00b4s absolutely necessary, I dare say, even though we\u00b4re not always able to see it. Creating space to recover our strength, to refocus on what\u00b4s truly important, to enjoy the little (and the big) things that life brings to us. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Today, I\u00b4m inviting you to do a bit of reflection; let\u00b4s see what you think of this quote:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Everyone tries to make life longer,
when what we should really do is make it wider!<\/p>Luciano de Crescenzo<\/cite><\/blockquote><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

What are those things that make your life \"wider\"? How do you feel when you dedicate time and attention to them? And how much time and attention are they actually getting from you?<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
