A Family That Plays Together Stays Together
At work – late night meetings, conference calls, mountains of never ending paperwork that would put Hercules to shame, an insatiable boss, endless presentations, drawing up the next breakthrough strategy both for pushing your product forward as well as for squashing that pipsqueak who is perilously close to grabbing the promotion you deserve. 
At home – teenage kids with erratic mood swings, a toddler with a very strict daycare schedule and an even more demanding personal schedule, grocery lists that always seem unfulfilled, an overloaded mailbox with bills that arrive meticulously before time, doling out curfews and laying ground rules, cooking elaborately to suit everyone’s personal taste. At school – tons of homework, Algebra which seems like hieroglyphics, staying focused to grab the next college scholarship, an upcoming science fair, making the debate and football teams. On the road – an immobile sea of bumper to bumper traffic.
With so much on everyone’s plate, where is the confluence point?
Take a moment to pause. Look back. Look around. And take that long due vacation. Because a family that plays together stays together… Don’t let your kids grow up too fast, preserve every precious moment by making a memory out of it.
