Sometimes it seems that life is way too complicated. There are days that everyone needs your attention and you don't even know who needs it first! And that's not counting work! I know everyone feels this pressure, no matter what they do for a living. I was recently thinking about having a hobby, but I really don't have time, at this stage in life anyway. I used to ride mountain bikes and do some camping/hiking, but lately it's too hard to pull away. So here is where I am at right now...I have to focus on my family. It's not like that's not fun. I love being at home. It's the best place to be. I love Becky, and our children are always up to something. It's good stuff.
But how do we do it? Everything is pulling at you in such a way that the most important things seem to be the easiest to neglect. Recently, I rode with a friend of mine and his daughter called, they talked like normal and then at the end she said, "I love you, thanks for the birthday present." It really touched me, not because my daughter is two and we haven't bought her a birthday present yet (the grandparents do way better than us anyway! Next year we will, I promise!), but because she is 18 and really meant it when she said that she loved her dad. That is one of my goals, for AG to be 18 and still really, really love her dad. It will happen, I promise. Not to mention that Becky and I will still be happily married in 16 years. We just crossed 7 years of marriage last week!
Anyway, just thinking of family stuff,
