Sharing is better

Last week my daughter had two snow days. She was so excited that she didn’t have to go to school, that she kicked off her celebration by going back to bed.

When she woke up she came downstairs, thinking about what she was going to do with this gift she had been given.

She called a number of friends and discovered they were either not answering the phone or not able to play. One of her best friends was on a cruise in the Bahamas. My daughter sat alone at the house and ended up watching TV. She even used the word “bored” once.

I was reminded that life is to be shared. We may have a belief that we can do just fine on our own, but the simple truth is, is that life is so much richer when we have someone to share it with.
