This writing is really from Monday, August 29th. Sorry... No excuses, life is full!
Family. Friends. Time to spend with those closest to me. And feelng like I am not letting them down with life being so full that I forget to slow down and taake the time to be near them.
I don't know if you ever have this problem, but I am constantly on the go and I don't feel like I have time to call, write or spend time with the people in my life that are important to me.
This fact really hit home this weekend while the boys and I were at a water park. I look over and there is a family friend that I haven't seen in well over two years. The really sad part is that we live 20 minutes away from each other! I have thought of her and her family often, but just have not acted on the impulses to call or visit her.
Why do I struggle with staying in touch with people whom I love to spend time with? And how do other women seem to have it all together when it comes to spending time with friends (or at least appear to)?
I struggle with this even with my own family. Days will quickly go by, and then weeks, and then before I know it two months will have flown by and I have not called or emailed.
It's not that I don't think about these wonderful people in my life, and I am constantly praying for people., Why do I not seem to be able to make the leap from the thought to actually picking up the phone and simply telling them "I'm thinking of you"?
I need to find those little moments in my day where I can make significant touches to the people I love. I am turning over a new leaf.
