I’m 40 and I’m finally understanding what really matters. I’ve known it all along, but sometimes stuff gets in the way. A blog I wrote to post here today went missing. For two hours rewriting that lost blog mattered more until my boys started falling apart at the seams. That’s really the only clue I need to give up. These boys need me today. And I need them to know they matter. And so I give this up because they matter more. They matter more than any string of words I could craft to communicate where I am in the journey with the hope to lead you there too. Today I choose differently. Today I choose them.
Choose well today. Choose what matters most.

What you say is so true, we great wrapped up in life that we forget to just enjoy what is around us and sometimes even the people that need us most. Enjoy your boys and you life!!! May God Bless you and your family.

You’re an amazing mom! And by choosing what mattered most, you still turned out a blog post that taught people (well at least me) to stop and realize what matters most. Thank you for giving me this gentle, oh so important, reminder.

Great thought! There’s not a mom who wouldn’t want to go back and not “sweat the small stuff”. We can always renew our blogs (and usually they turn out even better than the first draft) but we can never renew time! People are always turn out to be more important than projects, right?

Sounds like a good choice ❤

You indeed chose correctly……..I never give advice on how to raise children, except, for this……..spend as much time with them as possible because they are soon gone…..time passes quickly and the time you spend with them will always be remembered by you as well as those two precious boys…….my love to all of you…..Uncle Gene
