I won't say that they are my whole life, because that certainly is not true. I have my work, my brothers and sisters, my interests and a myriad of other things I'm involved in. However, my small family is what made me begin to pause and stand in awe of life.
There are a thousand small things that amaze me about my life with my family (and hundreds of things that frustrate and irritate me) and they don't necessarily have anything to do with my overachieving personality, my goals or any other check-lists I have (I have a lot of them...)
What they remind me of every day is that each day presents me with the opportunity to encounter reality - to encounter beauty. Rather than escape behind my headphones or drown out my concerns by browsing Facebook, I've begun to challenge myself to see the totality of life - to encounter my life, my faith and reality daily.
