The Greatest Treasure of All...
I have noticed that since I have cut back at work and come home to spend more time with my family...that I appreciate them MORE than I did when I was working.
Don't get me wrong, I have always loved and wanted my family. I just didn't appreciate them as much. I didn't have the time to get to know them. I had very little energy at the end of a busy day to put into them. Their needs were just another thing on my very long list of "things to do" that never seemed to end. Their noise was overwhelming at the end of a long day working with other people's kids. My own family got my leftovers; I was missing out on so much!
The thing that really gets me is that I knew this all deep down, but it took me a few years to get the courage to do something about it. It was like knowing where to dig for treasure but never "getting around to it" because it would mean taking time off from working at the local laundry mat. How crazy my way of thinking now seems to me...now that I have recognized that I have been living with this treasure all around me and just never took the time to "dig". |
