"Spend some good time with your kids today, so tomorrow, you won't have to wait for visiting day." - Sent to me recently
Are you familiar with the myth of quality time of quantity time? It's a myth because kids spell love t-i-m-e.
Is the popular country song by Kenny Chesney "There Goes My LIfe" the transition from child to young adult leaving the nest is about 5 seconds of music. It captures just how fast the timme goes.
I was talking with a friend the other day whose kids are now their 20's. He asked me "Do you know how quick it goes?" I snapped my fingers and said "Yeah, like that!" And he said "No, faster..."
He's right. Blink and it will be gone.
Instead of blinking, spend the time now. Now, today.
I never want to ignore the magic words of "Daddy, will you play with me?" I never want to reach the day when I stop dropping everything to say "Sure, son, let's."
