Thanks guys and I want to wish everyone out there a merry Christmas. Ours will be fairly subdued, be we will make it through another Christmas season. The 3rd one is a tad bit more bearable than the first one was without Kyle. Everybody out there give an extra hug and kiss to your loved one. Spend a little more time listening to your child's story about whatever they are going on about. Be a little more patient and use a little more understanding when dealing with your children in frustrating times. My father passed away at 51 in 1988 and his advice to me on children was don't sweat the small stuff, because you can argue every day with your child if you want to. Pick your battles and make sure they are important. Don't get hung up on a power play and spend all the time you can being the best parent you can be. No one was ever on their death bad and wished they had worked more hours or made more money, but lots of people wish they had spent more time with kids and their family. Time has a way of slipping by quickly at times. The kids are grown before you know it. Life is all the little thing that go on while you are working towards your big goals. I try to live by these simple rules and they have worked for me so far. I am extremely close to all of my kids and I am thankful for the 4 I have left. So take time and enjoy them, because you truly never know what lays ahead. Love them with all your heart and you will be a lot happier in the long run. Money just buys thing, and you can always make more money. Have a great blessed and safe holiday season. Not trying to preach any great wisdom, just sharing a few thoughts on Christmas with friends. |
