Nothing Compares to family
Posted by John | Filed under Uncategorized
I have been so busy lately all caught up in “business” and when I get this busy I tend to get my priorities mixed up.I have also been anxious and short and abrupt with my wife. I had not planned on going away for the weekend to be with son’s family and grandson because I thought I had “too much to do.” After my wife twisted my arm to go (which she should not have to do) I went and I am so glad I did.
Sometimes I think I am so important (which is so much “BS”) that I think the business could not possibly survive without me for a day or so….how stupid, narrow-minded and arrogant is that???
Holding my grandson, playing with him, walking with him, tickling him, simply watching him and letting him entertain me was the very best thing I could have done this weekend for so many reasons. First of all he changes every time I see him, growing up so fast. Second, he helped me realize again what my true priorities are. Third, he reminded me how precious life is to stay connected to family. Fourth, he made me laugh, cry, smile, and release my anxiety. Fifth, when I went back to work I was so much more focused, energized and relaxed.
When he hugs and kisses me I can’t hardly verbalize the warm, content, happy and amazing feelings I have. I need to hold on to those feelings and remember them when I get all caught up in business. Business is important to support my family and honor the commitments I have made to my clients and partners.
But nothing compares to family………………nothing! My family, my wife, and all my children and grand children are Blessings from GOD!
