You know, I remember when we were a younger married couple, we worked hard, he worked 2 jobs many times the police dept and a moonlighting job either security at the mall or mowing lawns, with my first I was the accountant at Home Depot for almost 9 years, then when our 2nd came, I decided I wanted to not miss all the firsts and be there with my kids, and I never saw him because he was on evenings or nights and I was on days. So I worked from home running a daycare/preschool when my kids were little, later got into web and graphic design and then my greeting card company and my networking luncheons.
Anyway, NOW, that I am in my 40’s, AND he is no longer here… website here.today I am reflecting on those words I heard many others tell us when we were young and trying to work hard to *get the best* and to *rest* later when we were older – “CHERISH the times you have together, you don’t have to work so hard to have the best of the best, be happy with what you have, your family is the most important, stay close to them and love them, because one day – you might not have them to love, cherish and spend time with”
I AM GLAD I did choose to find things I could to work from home no matter how hard it was at the beginning, and how many hours I put in, I still got to do it from home and be here for him when he was here and be here for all my kids, raising them, and still help to support our family, so he did not have to be gone from us as much….just reflecting…
