Being available is doing something
Being available is doing something -
A couple of years ago I changed my working pattern. Up to this time, I have worked five or six days a week and for so many years travelled long distances for work. Now I work 4 days and off at weekends.
I can not begin to explain the fulfilment I get from having the extra time with family. Being more available for my family means I have to deal with requests that I won’t normally deal with.
Yesterday this request was Dad can you help me do my hair? Niki left home early for work so I was taking the kids to school.
Afro hair is difficult! As I wrestled with this hair with Sophie’s careful guidance, she told me how to cream mouse on it, brush it then put hair-clip-elastic-band something (sorry I don’t know the name for it!
).
I thought about life and how I could have missed this precious time if I had carried on with my pattern of work.
I feel one of the most imbalanced quotes is Time is money! To say that means your time is cheap. Time can be things money can’t buy!

In summary
Time can be showing love, time can be helping, and time can be resting. Time can be meditating. Time can be making memories.
Let our time be filled with Joy by prioritising the right things. Your availability might be worth more than that hourly rate!
