When I began attending La Leche League meetings in 1982, an oft-repeated phrase was, "People before things."
It's a maxim that guided my parenting decisions and the way I now conduct business.
It also guided my decisions this morning. I'm a little behind on stuff I get done earlier in the morning in favor of spending time on the phone last night with an uncle and this morning with a daughter.
No crisis, nothing like that.
Many times, certain conversations can be brief and taken up again at a mutually agreed time. But not always.
Last night and this morning fell into the "not this time" camp.
The video I was planning to share this morning can wait. Because sometimes people cannot.
The
happiness he gives, is quite as great as if it cost a fortune. (A Christmas Carol)
