My Prosperous World

I woke up this morning to my usual routine, an hour of work prior to the local cafe opening. Once 7am arrives, I dress my daughter in whatever is convenient, bundle her in her pram and head down to get my morning caffeine hit. I got to the front gate today thought and stopped dead in my tracks. There sitting on the fence post, a mere two feet from us, was the king of the kingfisher birds, an Australian Kookaburra.

Today managing family time can be especially difficult. We live in a fast paced society that doesn’t exactly give you time to stop and smell the roses, so it’s hard to get in some good quality family time. Families operate at high speed. There are soccer practices to attend, homework, after school activities, meal times, and errands to run. Time is an incredibly scarce resource.
