It seems that family time is about making the most of the little opportunities that present themselves. Yes, making sure there is margin enough for those opportunities to be able to present themselves is surely important too.
Daylight fades earlier and earlier this time of year. On those evenings when a Blossom pipes up, "Hey, can we all go on a walk?"
We say, "Yes!" even though the dishes will need to be done after darkness falls...
or some other such task will need to be moved around...
or something else can be delayed for a bit.
or some other such task will need to be moved around...
or something else can be delayed for a bit.
And some of us lag behind and some of us speed ahead, but there's time for the conversation and laughter to happen.
Some of the best family times are the in-between times,
the squeezed-in times,
the every day times that we scoop up and hold on to.
So, I will keep my eyes open for those opportunities and make the most of saying, "YES!"
