Cherishing The Simple Things

Life gets so busy, we are occupied with the everyday things that take up our day. It's up in the morning, off to work, kids off to school, going to doctors appointments, getting the kids home from school. Then there's the hours of homework, dinner to fix, baths for the kids, laundry, housework, bedtime and then we get up again in the morning and do it all over again. Sometimes in the midst of my being busy, I lose track of the small things. Those moments that we cherish as parents. This week I have been blessed to have two of my teenage age daughters hang out with me. Something as simple as a long walk together, spending time walking and talking. Learning about their lives and what makes them happy and even what makes them sad. I feel very blessed that in their busy lives they chose to spend time with me. These are the times in our lives to make memories, ones that we can cherish forever.
