Weekend comes to an end....

Well, the weekend is over and it feels like I just walked out of work on Friday....well I did work on Saturday morning.  I have a friend that used to tell me she would stay up late on Friday and Saturday nights because it made the weekend seem longer.  I thought she was crazy then.  Now I do the same thing AND I get up early on Sat and Sun mornings and will even stay up later on Sunday nights.  I have just started working five days a week instead of four days a week and it makes the weekends even shorter.  But, you know time is the same.....60 minutes in an hour, 24 hours in a day.  How I chose to spend my time is guided by what priorities I place in my life.  Today we went to church and spent time with family.  Then my husband and I played video games.  ( hey, its what we do)  When I look back on the weekend, I will not say "I wish I had spent time doing other things".  As I get older I learn to pick and chose what is really important.  I know that the sheets need to be changed on the bed, but mother needed to have her toenails done and so the sheets will wait.  I probably could have done something more profitable than play video games but someday I will look back and it will be a precious memory of the times that we played video games and laughed and worked so hard to finished a game.  Its all about what is important.  Don't let others decide what is important for you, decide for yourself, then you will have less regrets to look back on.  Think about your choices and what kind of memories you are making for yourself ( and your family).  If you don't have some great memories building up because you are so busy you may need to change some priorities.  Get out there and make some memories with someone you love......you will not regret it ......have a great day.
