Not sure if “time” as a reoccurring theme is a function of the new year, or just from various points of view that come to the fore based on recent circumstance. But here’s another, regardless.

Sick at home.

And a sick kid at home too; younger daughter; need to nurse her a bit back to good health; also soak up that time.

Soon to be a teen

Soon wanting more independence, less dad…

And so I find myself wanting to prioritize time with this soon-becoming-tween of mine.

And it’s with recognized gratitude that I am realizing and choosing more frequent and intentional experiences with her, to support her more fully and make the most of this time right now.

And I’m so very glad for this awareness, for this time with her.

So very glad.
