This is truely the 1st weekend I have not wanted to end in a very long time. I can't believe how much ive been missing with my family, being present but not actually there. I was 100% with them finally and my kids soaked it up I'm sad to think of how attention starved they been.

That is so great to hear! I had the same sort of weekend. It was so nice to laugh again, and just spend time together as a family. More than once I thought to myself.....THIS is my reality.

Hi LFH and Blue:-) I am happy for you both that you each had good weekends and that you can see the difference in being fully present and engaged in your families. Once the blinders come off it is like learning to see again I have found and becoming more appreciatitive of life and what I do have has been a humbling experience. Hugs to you both:-)

Glad to read you are fully engaging in life with your family.

Whether you think you can or you think you can't you are probably right. A parrot can repeat what it has learned but the mark of true intelligence is applying what is learned.
