August 2, 2014 ~ Family is What Really Matters

Here's another title that sounds so obvious.  But I took my family for granted for a long time.  I wanted to do something more fun or hang with new people in my life instead of going to another family function when I was in my twenties.  I think that it's pretty normal to have that phase in your twenties when you'd rather do things with "cooler" people but I still wish that I could get some of that time back. I used to think that I was busy but now that I have two kids mostly on my own, I realize that I didn't know the meaning of the word "busy."  

Now, particularly after going through a divorce, I see that there's nothing more important than family.  The person whom I thought was going to be my forever is no longer around.  But my family will always be by my side, that is something that I can count on.  I am lucky to have the support system that I have and I don't take it for granted any more.
