Let’s Blog Off - Stop the World

Every two weeks Bloggers unite for a day to write about a communal topic.  This week the title is If you could stop the world for a day what would you take the time to do?

Hands down, no thought needed, I would spend the day with my two nephews.  It sounds corny but they are both getting older – heck one is old enough to drink – and have busy lives.  I do not spend enough time with them.

My older nephew is incredibly gifted as an artist.  My younger nephew is so smart he aced his math FCAT’s a few years ago.  I would fly them to a small town in the west that had tons of snow on the ground.  Having grown up in South Florida they love what little winter they have experienced. 

We would hike and ski.  I don’t ski so hopefully there is a hospital nearby but hey since this is my made up day I just decided I can ski!  Have meals filled with old favorites and new delights.  We would talk.  Really talk so I could get to know them as the new men they are right now because it will change as they find their way through their life.  We have had some seriously silly moments so I know we would laugh.

I would make them take the time to watch a sunset to share a moment of breathless beauty.                                                                          

I am pretty sure both nephews would insist on watching movies.  I thought for a while my older nephew would major in film he watched so many movies.   One of their favorites!

I would have my younger nephew show me the skills he has learned this past year as a Boy Scout.  The kid can throw a tomahawk!  Seriously!! 

And when the day was done I would pick up the phone and call my brother and sister-in-law and thank them for being dedicated, loving, and involved parents.

It would be a perfect day.
