I just had to share with you all why I haven't blogged this last week. I have the most incredible family ever. I just turned 50 years old and to celebrate we spent 5 days on the beach. I just love the beach. It's one of my favorite things in life and boy did we have a great time. The weather was wonderful, the water was warm, the sand was soft but most importantly the relationships that were deepened during these 5 days are irreplaceable.
Since I'm in that time of my life called Perimenopause all my relationships have become more important. I am realizing life is short. I am recognizing that middle age is arriving without my permission. No matter our stage of life, tomorrow is not promised or guaranteed.
I have always been so busy raising my family that I didn't take the time to develop deeper and more intimate relationships with them or others. I now try physically to put more time into my relationships, sitting & talking. Emotionally I am learning to engage those in my relationships to learn more about them. Spiritually, God has me developing a deeper devotional and prayer time which helps me connect with my family & friends in ways that even I can't imagine. Connecting on every level. Are you connecting with others? What do you do to nuture those relationships in your life? Sharing is Caring! Share with us Girlfriends?
