Thankful!

I recently had a week off from work and enjoyed spending time with my kids! It's crazy how we get so involved in day to day activities that we forget what’s important. We make sure we get to work on time, get everything done at work and home, spend a few hours watching a TV show that doesn’t mean anything then go to bed and start all over.

As I get older and I have time to reflect on my past and future, I realize that I am so lucky to have this time with my parents, my girls, and now my girl’s partners. I am looking forward to seeing how their lives evolve. Simple things like playing a game of Monopoly and hearing the laughter just made me realize how much I have to look forward to.

I went on a hike this week, a hike that I said no to several times. After the hike I realized that I need to spend time looking around and appreciating the little things in life, and not worry about the crazy things that in a year won't even matter.
 

Here are a few photos from the hike, remember what is important and appreciate those moments.
