The Time for Home
The message in this installment of Wednesday Wisdom comes to us from British poet Edith Sitwell. As the stress of the holiday season hovers, keep in mind that your children need time with you. It is all they really need. They don’t need a thousand Christmas presents. They don’t need to be invited to every party. They don’t need their photo with Santa. They just need safe time at home with family, especially during this season when Mother Nature reminds us that inside time is nice too.
Wishing you and your family a Winter season focused on all the most important things.
