Family Time

All of us have busy schedules. Work, life, family, chores, responsibilities, parenthood and all that comes with it and sometimes just getting through the day, takes a lot out of us but we need to make time for things that really matter. Start by picking a day and a time. Get everyone in your family involved. Don't worry about what you don't have; focus on and make use of what you do have, each other. Spend time with each other by playing games, watching movies, going for a walk, going to the park...(the possibilities are endless). Use your imagination and creativity to come up with something. Turn off your cell phones, laptops, computers, ipods, televisions and listen to one another. Share your hopes, dreams, fears and accomplishments. Catch up on each other's lives. Take the time and make the most of it, it's one of the best things you can do for your family. It gives everyone a sense of belonging and unity and the fun, smiles and laughter that you share will be an extra benefit.
