Life is simply a matter of choices!


Two simple questions

  • What one thing will you do this weekend to realign your priorities?
  • Which important person in your life will you reconnect with tomorrow?

I’m taking the afternoon and evening off to spend time with my wife and youngest son. Those are two important people I need to reconnect with…

What about you?

    1) Sleep. Had been depriving myself that and just got knocked on my head by my chiropractor this morning for not resting enough. Health comes before wealth.
    2) Mum. I remember to provide for her, always. But sometimes, I forgot what she needs most is lots of love and attention.

    Thanks, your posts always remind me to live for today. Yesterday has passed, tomorrow has yet to come. Today is where I live, for myself, for others.

    Dave,

    This is such a well-timed post! I have been out of the loop on several things (tasks slipping through the cracks), and not paying enough attention to a few aspects of my personal life, and I have taken action today to rectify both of those situations.

    Thanks for the reminder, and enjoy the time with your family. :smile:

    Aaron,

    Thanks for stopping by and I’m glad I was able to help :smile: I did have a nice day with my family. Hope you had a good day too.

    Dave, you always ask the right questions at the right time! :)

    This week-end (well here it’s already 2am sunday morning, but there’s still time… wait! i should be sleeping by now! lol) to realign my priorities i think i need some fresh air and take a litle break, so tomorrow, if the weather is nice (and even if it’s not), i’ll go climb a mountain, and take a nice long walk. This should help me realign my priorities, i find that taking some time off helps me a lot.

    umm, the second question is a little more difficult to answer, who will a reconect with tomorrow? Think i’ll call my niece, it’s been a long time i haven’t seen her, and plus she’s a cool kid! yep that’s what i’ll do! :)

    Jonathan,

    I didn’t realize there were any mountains around montreal. That sounds like such a great day. I’m enjoying my day more hearing that.

    hehe, there’s Mount Royal right on the island of Montreal, and on the south shore (where i live) of Montreal, there’s 2 or 3 mountains, nothing close to the Rocky mountains for sure, but still there’s some nice spots where you can go climbing and stuff :)

    I got back from a long long walk on the Mount St-Hilaire (south shore of MTL), didn’t climb, but walked for like 2 hours, and it feels so good :)

    Now i’ll go call my niece! hehe

    Jon,

    I think I’ll have to include a long walk in my plans. Nice romantic walk with my wife tomorrow….. I’m feeling it! Thanks for the great idea.

    Every weekend I remember that my spirituality and family are first in my life. Work comes behind them. So I use each weekend to reconnect with both in any way that I may have fallen short during the my work week.

    My wife. She gives everything to our home and our children so I can work in my little office. I love her and appreciate her on every level. And, I still feel she’s under appreciated. So I will reconnect with my wife – tomorrow – and every tomorrow – forever.

    Dawud,
    Someone should anonymously send your comment to your wife so she knows how you talk about her when she’s not there. I love your mental posture. :cool: I’m going to follow your example. Thanks

    Yeah, I know. I try hard to put my family before everything. Trying doesn’t always lead to success. I simply feel fortunate to have a wife who, after almost 5 years of marriage, I’m still learning new ways to love her – and how she loves me. It’s an amazing journey. I may romaticize it here and there, but I’d much rather look at my life through the positive than through the negative.

    Well put Dawud… trying does not always lead to success.
    Five years.. wow! We’ve been married over 25 and I can’t imagine life without Kim.
    Keep looking at the positive. It’s not nearly as crowded at that particular address.

    Thanks Dave. It’s so good to hear you talk about Kim that way. I fully understand. I don’t remember what my life was like before my wife and I met. I have the memories, they just don’t seem to mean much of anything.
