Get in the present…

No,,I don’t mean, get into your childrens’ present.

I’m referring to why people are having children at an older age. Case in point, I decided to adopt at age 41 because I had seen the world, had a busy career and was ready to settle down and enjoy a family.

More and more people are doing the same as well as having fewer children so they can enjoy their family “in the present”. Not to say, they’re  not running around between soccer games, cub scouts and baseball. But they are enjoying it vs adding their own busy career to the mix.

Just last night, I hear James Taylor (age 61) talk about his new family (twin boys age 8) and what’s different.

The answer: I’m much more present.

Enjoy the moment because it goes fast!
