Inspiration Comes Late in Life

By
Real Estate Agent with Value Added Service, 602-620-2699 SA5376460000

Success is something that is measured in different ways.  Some people think that success is how much money you make or what you own.  Success can mean many different things if you stop and think about it.  

 

Just a week ago I had an amazing weekend with the people that mean the most to me.  Now to some people, that might not mean much, but to me it meant the world!  

 

Success is knowing that they are each very capable at their respective jobs. Each of them has achieved a level of success and they are still working hard, continuing to be even more than I dreamed they could be.  Each of them are wonderful parents and I love watching them with their children.  Whether they are bantering back and forth with a stern look that gives way to a smile as they turn to look at me, or whether they are putting someone in time out with the same look, I love it all. 

 

Each of them is busy with work and their families, but each of them lives in a completely different state away from me in Arizona!  They are in Texas, Iowa and Alabama.  So you can imagine my sheer joy in getting together with them.

 

My Inspiration

They are split between their respective states with their Father in Florida and their Grandparents in Kansas.  

 

So you can imagine that they don't get my way very often so it's perfect when I can meet them wherever they land! 

 

So what inspires me, my Daughters of course!

I feel the same, my kids are my biggest source of inspiration and motivation to be my best and do my best.

Unfortunately, kids grow so fast moving eventually to their lives and creating their families..

My daughter is my best friend and luckily I get to see her at least once a week.  Looks like a great group of girls and I bet you had a wonderful time.

Very nice Jan Green. I am very close to both my children and I am very proud of what they have grown up to be and what wonderful parents they've become. I also cherish the time they make to spend with me. They are not only my kids they are my friends.

The wish for every parent is for their children to have more than they had and to achieve greater success in their lives than the parents.  If that's accomplished joy abounds.

Jan ~ I hope your daughters get a chance to read your post.  I liked the part where you write about when they have to be stern in front of their kids, but then turn and have a smile on their face!  I could visualize that!
