Are your actions matching your actual priorities?

In the craziness that becomes our lives I think we forget what the MOST important things are.  It's those relationship we have with the people we love.


Every week, for years, I went to my parent's house for dinner.  It was our ritual.  I'd go over.  I'd chat with my mom while she cooked and Dad would pour me a glass of wine.

We'd enjoy or evening, usually ending up on the patio and then my mom would come and snuggle with me and then tuck me in.  I was well in to my twenties and she would still come and tuck me in to bed when I was spending the night over there.

One night I called Mom.  I was swamped at work, crazy busy with stuff.  So, I called and cancelled dinner.  I knew it was a bad idea at the time.  

Fast forward 10 years.  I have no idea what I was doing at work that day...but I remember skipping dinner.  I would give the next 10 years of work for dinner with my mom.

Don't skip dinner.
