I am reading a really amazing buck by Reggie Joiner and Carey Nieuwhof called, “Parenting beyond your Capacity”. The book is all about connecting your family to a wider community.
One of the Family Values that it talks about is creating a rhythm in your family. It is all about increasing the quantity of quality time you spend together.It is the principle that we can all relate to, that live is about the quality moments. We can have the big vacations but if they are not quality then we miss out.
Quality family time is our goal.
I am in the midst of training for the marathon in November. I really like the Run/Walk/Run method. As I have mentioned before I felt like a wimp when I first thinking about the method.
But my runs are quality. Quality because I concentrating my efforts into the moments.
And the times I am running are more focused. I am not just trying to make it to a mileage but It is a rhythm.
And rhythm of running. I run for 3 mins and walk for 1 min. This rhythm uses different muscles and helps me focus in.
It is the same principle for my family. The times we have together need to be quality.
And plenty of them…
