Spend more time with my daughter

...the seeds we plant when we are not looking.

40 people with this “thing” on their list…very nice!

As a part of my rewriting my list I will be leaving this “thing” as the words are not saying what I really want them to say.

I have added “spend time with my daughter.”

The word “more” is something I have been letting go of…as I do not desire a life that is driven by more.

Cheers,

James

today as my children were heading out to go to their cousins my daughter came running up to me and gave me a “BIG” hug and a kiss.

these are the moments you just can’t plan. needless to say she got my attention.

a really “GREAT” moment it was…;-)

yes, i have been giving my daughter my time and i have enjoyed what we are sharing.

my wife says that she, my daughter, is a different person since i have been giving her my time. it is not so obvious for me, so i just take it in.

i want my daughter to have the self-esteem that empowers her to choose, from strength (self-worth), those she calls friend. I want her to know that her choice “is hers!”

i want for my daughter to own her experience of life and to have the courage to paint the life she wants with every stroke.

what am i learning, i am still in the question, i am simply “experiencing my daughter” and giving her the freedom to “be her!”

she is a gem, she is such a gift. I am blessed in so many ways.

with love,

James

Lately my wife has shared with me the change she has seen in my daughter and it nearly brings her to tears.

What’s different?

Time, I am giving my daughter “unconditional” time. Time with me, loving, accepting, caring, compassionate, and FUN!

I am giving her access to “ME” completely.
I am letting her choose.
I am appreciating her and all her little quirks.
I am holding her and talking with her.

I am letting her know that she is “WORTH” my time. That what “SHE WANTS” matters.

Self-esteem, she deserve to have all she wants…;-) Don’t we all deserve this…?

With love,

James

Take a moment to remember what it was like as a child.

Did you ever have a special moment with someone you loved and cared about? How big does that moment feel today?

That is the gift of a moment that you give to your daughter and it is something I work at all the time.

I want her to know that a man can value her and her time. I want her to know that a man can love her just as she is. I want her to love herself versus having to find love in another person.

Tick, tick, tick…time moves…tick, tick, tick…another moment is gone.

Don’t think about it…listen to “YOUR HEART!”

Love is not an intellectual event…it is a feeling…an experience.

With love,

James
