Important things

A friend sent me this funny picture and after a good laugh it made me think.

In life, it's really easy to get busy with important things and sometimes crowd out things that are more important or even irreplaceable.

We were given a box of fireworks last week and decided tonight was the night to light them.

We kept Tali up past her bedtimes so she could come outside with us and watch. To see the excitement in her eyes and little body was worth the missed sleep--and that's saying a lot.

I know I've missed the boat so many times ... but tonight, we got it right!
