As I get older, I increasingly value free time that's completely free of appointments. Time to think, time to reflect, time to just hang out with my wife and kids.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I look forward to a lot more free time, at least initially, with my wife, Lisa, and our three children.
I think the older I get, the more I realize that the ultimate luxury is time.
I like to think that as I get older I'm getting better at spending time with people who have qualities that make them worth spending time with.
When a woman gets to 30, you ask her about having kids. I don't mind - all my friends are settled with kids, so I can understand people asking, and I even get it from relatives, but I'd be a fool to miss these work opportunities. And there's no time limit. One day I'll find my prince, but at the minute, I'm enjoying kissing a few frogs.
I always feel like I want more time with my kids. But I reject the notion that you can't have it all. I think you can: just not necessarily in abundance.
My children are the focal point of my life. I was asking for a little more time to spend with them.
I don't waste as much time at work because I'd rather spend it with my kids.
I wish I got a little bit more time at home. I am away a lot and being around my loved ones and friends is good for me. It grounds me. It's something I need to make more time for. I think I need a little more balance.
What is free time? I'm a single mother. My free moments are filled with loving my little girl.
Thing is, I don't really like free time. People are always warning me that I'm going to burn out. But the truth is, the only thing that tires me out is hearing people tell me that.
