It only takes one event to change your perspective of life and how you live your life.  As a father of four kids this can be an eye opener and it can be an eye opener even if you don’t have kids.

I found a “Lump” on my chest and my mind start going into overdrive. Is it just a knot or is it a cyst or is it the big bad “C” word.  I found it a month ago and I just had it removed last Saturday.  This might not be a big deal for someone that had this done but it is a big deal for me.  Someone that is perfectly healthy with four kids.

It is scary to have one and not know what it is.  The doctors can only guess what it is without a biopsy.  Even doctors can get it wrong.  And they can get it right.  I know of a person that had a “Lump” and was told it was a cyst even after getting it taken out.  After it came back from the lab, it wasn’t a cyst.  It was cancer.

So knowing this and having everybody telling it could be a cyst, I wouldn’t be completely relieved until the lab tells me the same thing and I hoping for this.

I have been spending more time with my kids this past week then I normally do.  I also started doing a couple small things on my bucket list that I always wanted to do.  One of them is to read the bible all of the way through.

My perspective of life has changed a lot even if it is not cancerous and everything is normal.  My thought process on this has changed for the rest of my life and now my priorities has changed with it.

That is why I’m a couple letters behind everyone in the challenge.

Have you had a life changing event that changed your perspective of life?  ?  Did your priorities changed as well or are you back to the way you used to be?  Feel free to leave your answer in the comments and I will respond to the questions you have.

An urban footpath from www.wikipedia.org

 

If you have been following my blog during the A to Z Challenge and you are now thinking that I should have been doing this in my life, then ever fear you can. All it takes is for you to change your ways and go down a new path.

Your kids might not notice at first that you changed anything. But believe me they do. If you start reading a book at bedtime, spend one on one time with them, or even start sitting down at the kitchen table for dinner, they will notice. The stuff that they might not notice right away is if you telling them you love them more often than you have been doing.

At first this might cause you to have a confused look on their faces. Change hardly goes smoothly in any part of your life. But they will get with it and then it will be part of the new routine. If you decide to start eating healthier and feeding your kid’s healthier options then they might get confused. But after a few times then it becomes normal to them. Children are so easily molded when they are at a younger age.

I’m not telling you that you have to change or forcing you to change your current ways. You are an adult. But when I did change my ways and following what I have been posting on this site a few years ago. The rewards from the changes have been awesome.

Like I mentioned in yesterday’s post, you are making memories with your child and that might be the thing you are changing.

What new path or changes did you do that would benefit your kids or family? Was it a good or bad change and was it worth it? Please leave your responses in the comments section below.
