What do you want?

Last week, I was rushing to get home from work to get dinner started and get the kids to bed. As I was driving and trying to figure out all the last details of the day, I asked myself: “What do I really want to do today for dinner”? I wanted to sit outside and eat dinner on a blanket with my family.

I gave myself a moment and a decision was made. What did I do? Exactly that. I got dinner at the grocery store, picked up some additional fruit, and drove to the local park. Conveniently, a ball and blanket plus hand wipes were in the car. My trunk always has extras of everything.

We had such a great time. Most importantly, I was present to them and to myself. I appreciated the nice warm weather, the sun, and the birds chirping. I left the park that evening with my cup overflowing. My question to you: What do you want?
