For all its faults, social media is a great way to stay in touch with people you don’t see on a regular basis. For me, I’m able to keep up with folks I knew when I was a kid, classmates from high school, and friends I’ve met along the way through college, work, and life. It’s cool to see how our lives have changed over the years.
Very nice piece on the importance of time in regards to your children. I see so many people squander that time. It goes fast and you cannot get it back. When my kids were very young, I accepted a job with a company that was very lucrative. It would have set us for life. Then, unexpectedly, they sent me out of country for 3 weeks. When I got back, they told me I needed to head out for another month and after a short hiatus, I would be heading out for a minimum of 2 months. None of this was in the job description.
When I missed one of the kid's birthdays, and then Halloween, I realized I was then going to miss Christmas with my very young children. I know this is fairly common, but I could not stand the thought of missing all these events that I could never get back. I turned in my notice at that very lucrative job and went back to the grind of a more regular job for way less money. A sacrifice? Yes, but the time I regained with my children was more than worth the loss in income and career. Your young children only make one pass through your life... MAKE IT COUNT!
