I recently had major foot surgery and was bedridden for several weeks, and am only slowly being able to get around. This has MADE me slow down, and give up control in some much-needed ways:
1. I don’t garden (never did, other than a few potted herbs)
2. I cook from scratch a lot less than I used to (only around 3 nights a week now..)
3. I don’t clean much, usually you can tell it.
4. I don’t exercise at all right now, which frees up time
5. I don’t declutter my house like I should and really want to
6. I don’t play with my kids enough..
7. I don’t shop much (unless you count online) because it’s too hard with crutches and not as much fun..

Going to stop this now and go hang out with my family..

I need to revisit this post every day. Everything we choose to do leaves something undone. Thank you for these wise words. I’m encouraged by the choices I do make!

Thanks to your mother for her wisdom and to you for sharing it. This definition of success fits perfectly!

They do say that the job of a full-time parent would net a six figure income if a monetary value were to be set on it! Very nice read.

Even with the “donts,” you sure do a lot. I’m impressed.

Thanks for sharing your heart and being honest.

Here are a few things I DON’T do:
* I don’t garden.
* I don’t cloth diaper.
* I don’t sew.
* I don’t tweet very often.
* I don’t have pets.
* I don’t watch TV.
* I don’t get enough sleep.
