I dont want to have all my focus be on my career (although that is where most of my time goes) and not enough on my life. I am trying to slow down a little & smell the roses, but it is very hardHilaryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00938287202761607041noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7786112280005647188.post-47611974119306590712012-10-07T04:45:05.815-07:002012-10-07T04:45:05.815-07:00thank you for sharing at the Thursday Favorite Thi...thank you for sharing at the Thursday Favorite Things hop.

As far as spending more time with your kids, I can certainly relate. I was always there doing things with my kids when they were little, but now they want to be off with their friends. So like you, I spend more time working. Things change. Embrace the season you're in.

Hubby and I just got home from 2 nights away at a local vineyard to celebrate and I wanted to thank you for sharing in our happiness.<br /><br />I understand how you are feeling about spending time with your mom and MIL. I am struggling with that now, as my folks live far and they are getting older. I spend more time that I used to for those very reasons. I was care giver to my late hubby, then I was the care giver to his mom (MIL) until she passed. I feel a sense of guilt that sometimes my mom had less attention because of my hands being "full" but she is so kind and loving and always tells me to take care of the "older" ones. Now my hubby has an 87 year old dad, and so we are spending more time with him, and my mom is telling me it is ok, and that she raised me to do this. So, I struggle. I am sure you are a blessing to them both.. Just do what you can, and God will take care of the rest.Winniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15926597921523807422noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7786112280005647188.post-68694537317229894332012-10-04T13:35:20.795-07:002012-10-04T13:35:20.795-07:00I can relate to your desire to want to spend more ...I can relate to your desire to want to spend more time with them--as my older ones are in their middle teens-- I feel like this close nit family thing we got going on--is going to soon evolve and change and I want to keep it like this as long as I can.Jennhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07559573562599754752noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7786112280005647188.post-62768246148569219932012-10-04T12:57:26.842-07:002012-10-04T12:57:26.842-07:00This occurred to me recently - I haven't seen ...This occurred to me recently - I haven't seen my distant relatives since June and some of them since December last year. I've never been particularly close to them, but I still care for them. Unfortunately, there is not enough time, so I can't take charge of that.<br /><br />And, I would like to live in a different country (preferably Canada) and if it was under my control, I'd definitely move there as soon as possible. Other than that, maybe take on more extracurricular activities, with a much better schedule than I currently have.Dave M.

WE will soon be that mom who doesn't get a phone call, a note, a quick visit or even a thought as the days go by. THAT is when we reach out and make the effort to connect with our own parents because we now need to teach our children that this is important. Otherwise, they will treat us the way we have treated our own parents. They learn by example.Johttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18285427147723972295noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7786112280005647188.post-79129930762606490632012-10-04T09:03:41.655-07:002012-10-04T09:03:41.655-07:00If I could change anything...I would probably have...If I could change anything...I would probably have difficulty deciding which part of my life to change, in which case I would dawdle so long it would remain the same or change of it's own accord! <br /><br />I think...right at this very moment, I would change my (un)employment status.
