God, family, others. That's one reason I strive to never let my business get too busy and limit the amt. of work I take in. <BR/><BR/>I hardly ever watch TV anymore (another waste of time in my book! LOL!), but last night I happened to watch Close to Home. Did anyone see it? Ugh ... terribly sad ending. She's a DA (or something like that) and is working all the time. Her husband was needing time with her more, so they decided to go away to Hawaii, just the two of them. As she was leaving work to head out on her vacation, two cops walked in ... sullen. Her husband had just been killed in car accident. Talk about wanting to run and hug your family! We can't take like for granted ... ever! <BR/><BR/>Serious, we all have to remember not to think, "just one more thing," and just set it aside to make life meaningful for those around us! <BR/><BR/>Cameron ... excellent post! Marriage is definitely not as easy as I thought it would be (ha, ha), but I know that it is a commitment, and that has to mean something! What better example to set for our kids than to commit to make each other happy (not ourselves first!). <BR/><BR/>Sorry, I rambled! And you do look just like your dad, DJ!

I've been thinking about that a lot and recently have decided to go a direction with my business that will support that dream of being able to spend quality time with my family.<BR/><BR/>On a side note I seriously talk to my parents almost every single day but when I was in college if I missed talking to my parents, it never failed, I would get a call from my dad singing that song. It was pretty funny:)amynavehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02721285691310077200noreply@blogger.com
