You are right, spending precious time with kids while they are young is important. It won't be long before they become teenagers and rather spend the time alone or with friends. I'm hoping that if we spend more time with them now that they will alienate themselves less when they get older and actually want to keep doing some of the same activities together. ;)<br /><br />Best wishes and success with your 2017 goals and beyond.

With kids, time is short and you want to maximize it with them especially while they are young. With that said I shot for too many goals and one of them wasn't spending more time with my kids. Luckily I did spend most of my time with them. Happy new year! Look forward to hearing more of your story as it helps me get through mine.<br />DFGDividend Family Guyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00692907194937963688noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1893129263573703047.post-51336614264194676712017-01-07T13:35:05.942-08:002017-01-07T13:35:05.942-08:00At the end of the day, Accomplishing your "Fu...At the end of the day, Accomplishing your "Fun Goals" is probably the most important.

Still, it's the system that counts and I think both of us have a great system for 2017 and beyond.
