Priorities

Today I had two sick kids home from school. It was a good opportunity for me to stop and take inventory of my life. I had a lot going on today -- a work presentation at noon, court at 4:30 and a Christmas Party at 6:00. All of those items seemed very important the day before, while attempting to plan out my week and wondering how I'd get all my tasks accomplished while trying to fit in all my “important” meetings. But sick kids cause everything else to take a back seat. It was a good reminder of what really is most important in life -- and that is my family. I made myself a promise today to take a hard look at my priorities more often to ensure they are in balance with what really matters.
