Take the Time

Take time out to spend with your children, your siblings, your parents, your pet, your partner.  When you spend time with these people how much of your attention is actually focused on them?  Are you sidetracked by thoughts of work, the television in the background, dinner cooking on the stove?  It truly is important to spend time with the special people in your life, but make sure that you are paying attention to them when you are with them.  Really listen to what they have to say.  Look them in the eyes.  When you are distracted you may only respond to their stories with, “Uh, huh.  Yep.  That’s nice, dear.”  That is not good for them or for you.  Having a strong bond with the special people in your life adds light and joy to your life and their lives.  Though few realize it this is a good way to connect to your spirituality – a Divine love.
