Today, as I prepared supper, I decided to call my parents to see if they wanted to join us. As a last minute call, I was really expecting them to have other plans but to my surprise they sounded excited and accepted the offer. A few hours later they pulled up and sat down to a family meal with us. I truly appreciated the effort that they made to drive the hour just to come for supper and after a few hours they headed home. It was during the time that my mom and I were working together to make supper that made me appreciate the tiny moments that we get to spend together. The tiny moments that are occurring with my children as they grow up and become more independent. The tiny moments where we laughed as we told stories about when I was a kid. It was so very great to have those tiny moments.
Not only did I reflect on these moments, I reflected on the opportunity to make these moments occur. All it took was one call. One call, even though there was a large chance that they couldn't come. If I had not called, this would not have happened. It reiterated to me, that if I never take the chance, I will miss out on opportunities that may create these tiny moments. I'm glad I took the time and made the call. It was a great way to end the weekend!
See you on the mats!
Nice posting!
