We are all little working ants. Busy with our daily obligations. Trying to accomplish all of the items in our to do list. You get that feeling of self accomplishment when you scratch off that last item.
If your kid ask you “ play with me” the usual answer is “ later let me finish this”. If your spouse wants some affectionate time after a long day the answer is “later I’m too tired”. We tend to hold off on these moments cause we are too busy with our list. It’s not done intentional it’s just how our brains are wired. To get things done.Sometimes something drastic needs to happen for us to realize you don’t have to scratch everything off that list. You miss on important moments with your kids. You miss on growing your relation with your spouse.
I am writing from a personal experience. My husband and i have always been together. We lived in the same neighborhood during our courting years. At most we would spend a week without seeing each other.
My husband received a career opportunity which currently requires him to be away in training for an extended period. It has been almost three months that we have been apart. You don’t realize how much you miss a person. I miss his whole being. I looked back at the times I got mad or upset at petty things. Wish I could have used that time to be together with him. I feel that I could have used my time better to have strengthen my marriage. To have nourished our love.
Now I’m alone most of the time. I just come home to an empty room. Because my other half is not here. I know we will be together soon. But as the days pass the more I miss him. The more I want to see his smile. The more I want to see his loving eyes. These are things that I should have enjoyed more when he was here with me everyday.
So put down that to do list and make time for your love ones. Enjoy them while you still have the around. I think that is the biggest accomplishment.
