Mom have been shouting their annual holiday rant, “Ugh! I’m so busy!! Life is crazy! There is so much to do!”
The Dad’s are no better. Just last night a frazzled Father pulled his car next to mine, jumped out and said, “There is not enough time in the day! We both work! And I just can’t get all the shopping, the pick ups, the sports and the holiday parties…ugh….it’s maddening!”
I smiled and pointed to his wife who was across the street with their kids, “The only thing that matters in this world is them.”
The Dad followed my gaze as I reminded him, “You live in a nice home with your loving wife and three beautiful children…nothing else is as important as that.”
He looked at his family and then back at me, “You are right. I forget that.”
This holiday season, be grateful, be thankful and just appreciate what you have.
