SLOW DOWN...I just wished someone had gotten this message through my thick skull when I was younger and my kids were small. If you are wanting to listen to me blubber all my regrets of life, not going to happen. But I do wish that I had learned how to slow down, breathe in every moment, make my family my first priority, and live a full life.
However, I am glad for the days when I let the kids stay out of school because they 'said' they were sick or skip preschool when they were little because they just didn't want to go. (I hope my wife doesn't read this.) I am glad that I coached their sports' teams. Well, I'm glad a coached most of their teams, there were a few of those kids....okay, you know what I mean. I am glad we took family vacations to the mountains and the beach. I am glad that we took our kids on all those youth retreats and CCF retreats. I think they had more fun on some of those trips than the students.
There were points in my life that I could have lived a little slower, worked a little less, taken another day off, but those days are past. We live in the present right? So today I enjoyed eating breakfast with my daughter and running errands with her and driving slowly not the opposite. Hey, one more thing....
Slow down.
You won't regret it.
