My mother has always dreamt of going to Italy. What’s the point of accomplishing your dreams if you don’t help other people accomplish theirs? The older I get the more I realize that the most joy in my life is when I put energy outward towards others rather than focusing inwards on myself. Your time with your parents is finite. Be sure to give your time, energy, & effort while you still can.. because one day, when you most want to, you may not be able to. Family is important.
