Time

Cycling to Ponderosa State Park yesterday I was again made very aware of how perceptive a 4 and 6 year old can be.  "Dad, if you still worked at your old job we could probably buy one of these cabins right by the lake," my son said.  "But if he still worked at his old job we wouldn't see him much," chimed in my four year old daughter.  "Yeah, I like spending time with dad," said my son.

Children crave time and I can't share that enough.  They'll always accept toys, gifts etc., just as most of us would as well.  In reality, however, a majority of the purchases we make, for our children or ourselves for that matter, are done to fill a void.  The solution we most often come up with is if we don't have a connection we can fill it with things, most of which end up becoming meaningless and dropped in the next yard sale.

So, the day was spent biking around town, playing at the park and going to the beach.  The crowds will be here soon enough for the weekend so the exploration began.  The evening ended at Crusty's Pizza where the owner hired a 4 and 6 year old to make their own pizza in the kitchen.

Living life as it comes and thankful already for this 3 week delay in the move.

Cheers
