Do you see the big picture, or simply the little pieces?
This is a question that often stops me cold. It seems to me that each and every day simply
gets away from me.
Here’s a short recap for simply today: write a blog, turn in
my expense report, prepare staff meeting, and teach a class today, close escrow
files, lead staff, fill the car with gas, cook dinner, wash two loads of
clothes. And that is simply what I
remembered when I was making this am’s list.
What am I thinking?!
So often I get distracted by the “what” that is in front of
my I forget the “who and why” life matters to me.
My husband - that is who matters. Ken and I were married well over 44 years
ago, and on that day we committed to live the rest of our lives together.
Oh yes, there have been difficult seasons - we have raised
three children together, been through the death of my brother and both
Moms. Ken’s dad is now deceased, my Dad
remarried and we have a wonderful Stepmom in Doris . We have learned the give and take of
life. It has not been easy, however at
the end of the day, the person who really matters to me is Ken.
I would encourage you to stop today. It’s not Valentines,
Christmas, a birthday or your anniversary, but stop and tell that someone who
puts up with you in the morning, before you’ve had a shower and washed your
hair, listens to you when you unpack your day, and walks you through when no
one else understands, just how much they mean to you.
At the end of your life they are the one who will be there
when friends, acquaintances, and those folks you have worked with are
gone. They are the person who cares.
