Everyday Magic

We are back from a family vacation. It was wonderful, of course. Friends, family, relaxing, sun and surf. The key is to keep the vacation when we return home. As I grow older and watch as the people I love grow older, I realize more and more that all our memories and moments are important and special. I hope to make the most of all of our days. Work is important. I am paid quite a wage to do a good job, so I must focus and put in the time. But when I am not there. I need to put as must time as I have into people, not tasks.

For instance, I am enjoying a new "album". Jason Mraz. He is young and writes wonderful songs. I love a good song writer. I wish I had that talent. I make my children listen to music and I listen to what they are listening to now. It makes for good conversation. So does watching the news and movies together. We had such fun watching "The Bucket List" as well as the new "Get Smart" movie as a family. I think the children had as much watching their Dad laugh at the movie as they did watching it.

Memories are the every day magic. ... Big and Small.
