A Good Decision

I was out of town for a couple of days at the end of last week. I had some tentative plans to meet with a few people to work on a project on Saturday afternoon. By Thursday evening, our group's plans were still unfinalized as we were each trying to rearrange our schedules to be able to work on the project.

While I was sitting in my out-of-town meetings last week, I realized that instead of working on another project, I needed to spend Saturday with my family. I owed it to them. Just the four of us. No work. No projects. The project could wait. I texted the guys involved (the rescheduling also worked well for them) and we decided to try to get together sometime this week. It was a good decision.

Here's The Point: Maybe, like me, you need to reschedule something so that you can spend more time with your husband or your wife or your children. Our relationships are so much more important than our projects.

By the way, last Saturday, our family packed a picnic lunch, went to a small train museum in Townsend and then on a short nature walk in the mountains. It was a good decision.
