The Best Thing...
I can’t believe it’s been over a month since I have posted anything. Apparently, I am busier than I think I am…..like most people.
Part of being so busy is all the projects you take on, thinking, “I can get that done”, forgetting that you also have a life to live and somehow, as I get older, the days seem to have less hours in them. At certain times we have to prioritize parts of our lives, doing a bit of a balancing act between what we want to do and what we have to do.
For me, my number one priority is my family. I want to be available when my kids or grandkids need me, help out if someone is sick or any of the other hundred things having a family involves.
As I write this, Allan and I are on our way back from O'Fallon, Illinois, near St. Louis, where my sister Leanne and her husband Mick (also Allan’s nephew….I know, you have to think that through) live. We drove down with my niece Diane and her husband Steve to spend the weekend with them. It’s a bit of a drive (5 hours) but we love seeing them and know they are aways from family and like us to come when we can. It’s a bonus to have Steve and Di go with us.
Did we do touristy things when we went? Not to speak of, mostly we did not do much of anything but enjoy our time together and catch up on things. The best thing we did was spend time with people we love and there’s not much better than that…k
