How might I sum up this past year? Well, if you notice my last post was in June. Now being December makes me realize 4 kids under the age of 6 makes life crazy. Good… but quite busy. Going from one family to the other, church, cleaning, packing, putting to bed and don’t forget playing Chase. One of our favorite nighttime games. Yes it is busy and has defiantly put my stress level beyond any I have yet sustained. But I would never trade it. I never knew how amazing it would be to have these little ones of my own. So, I figure out how to better communicate, work, play, discipline, encourage, and love those precious littles I have charge over. And at the same time curtailing a relationship with my lovely wife. Through all of this business we tend to not “have time” for or simply just forget to take time together. Time also must be taken for myself. Not to sound selfish on this one but I have really noticed how it affects me. I need to un-string my bow and do it constant enough that it does not get beyond un-stringing. This past weekend was one of those. Put me in a state and a realization of where I am, and where I want to be. What do I need to do to keep “Excellence in Everything”. I have an amazing family. I have a great job. A beautiful and competent wife. I am blessed none-the-less, and grateful for it. So how do I keep it up-to-par? A question of balance we all face.
So my list:
10 Finding the joy in the little things
Taking time for each other
Vacation, vacation, vacation
Taking time for yourself
Loving and showing it
You have such a DARLING family and such WONDERFUL kids..
