the time is now

i just spent the weekend in arizona with my eldest son, his wife and their two adorable children. what a great visit i had...lots of books to read and games to play. i am grateful i had that precious time with them. my whole purpose of that visit was to get to know my child, his spouse and their children better. it was a delicious visit!!
i also spent time with other loved ones that are getting up in their years. the visit with them was divine and many years overdue. i am grateful that i took time out of my everyday routine and enriched my life by spending a few precious hours with the people that i love...the people that really matter to me...the people i will miss when they are gone. it is hard to extract myself from my daily life...and so worth it when i do. so remember....the time is now...

  2. SO glad you had the opportunity to visit with your family....it's always great to connect with people who are close to us! so many of my family members live so far away....makes it tough to spend time together, but it's always worth the effort when we do! :)
