I'm so enjoying my time of unemployment because of one reason: it gives me time with my oldest grandson, Cameron. Today I woke up early, had my quiet time, got some online business done, washed the car, bought some groceries and ate out with a friend. When I got home in the early afternoon, I made Cameron finish mowing the yard he had started mowing on Saturday. After awhile I realized the mower had stopped and Cameron was nowhere around. Then I got a call from him. He and a buddy were at the junior high school about half a block from our house "working out." He wanted me to bring them some water bottles.
My first instinct was to say "No, you should have thought of that before you left so just walk your little self and get some water bottles." But then I realized that I had a golden moment here! I had the freedom of time. I put four water bottles in a Wal-Mart bag and drove half a block (I'm not walking outside in Texas in August!) to the junior high playing field where a sweaty, grinning 12 year old came up to the car to get them.
Because I have worked full time his whole life and missed out on the daily blessing of being there for him for the little things, it was a very golden moment!
