Going to Vegas can mean losing money or waking up in a drunkeness stupor leaving yourself wondering, "what the *&^% happened last night?" We've all been there...and I know I've had MANY great times and stories from those days!
But for me, this last trip I took meant great music and time with my husband. Since my husband does not live with me in Phoenix, time spent with him is precious. We got to spend some much needed time together and see one of our favorite bands, Blink-182. It was a great time.
For me, growing older has really changed my outlook on what is "precious." At one point, I felt that being strictly away from my parents and partying with my friends was the most precious thing I had. Yeah, I must've felt that way for much of my younger years, from about 13-21. After that, partying took over and getting the utmost amount of sleep was precious. (ok, sleep is still precious.)
But now, I wish I had more time. Time is precious. My kids are getting older and my husband is far away. My father passed away earlier this year. All the years wasted on being away and not spending as much time as I should with him makes me reflect on how I want to live my future. Being apart from my mom and family, my kids (they're a product of divorce, which he and I split the time), and my husband helped me to realize what is most precious in life....love.
Hug your loved ones often.
Have a nice day,
Candace
What a great perspective! We truly do not know how much time we have left, so we must make the most of it with the ones we love.
ReplyDeleteI really enjoyed this post! Time is definitely precious but it looks like you're on the right track to making sure you get to spend time with those who are important to you! I hope you enjoyed your trip with your husband, it sounded really fun.
