Making Time For Each Other

I didn't post last night because I was having an impromptu date night with my girlfriend, which sparked a thought to write about the importance of taking time out for the important people in your life. I think in today's fast paced world of "there's an app for that" we have a tendency to get bogged down in work, chores, or errands, and we forget about spending time with each other. Sometimes we forget that the reason we work so hard is so we have the ability to do the things we enjoy with the people we care about. Relationships, whether they are with a girlfriend, a boyfriend, a best friend, or a family member, require time and effort and if you don't put in the time and effort your might find yourself losing that relationship. Even though me and my girlfriend live together we still put aside some special time to do things together. Everyone should do this, and its very simple. It doesn't have to be a big extravagant event that costs a fortune. It can be as simple as taking a walk together, renting a movie and ordering takeout, or even taking time to do your grocery shopping together. Regardless of what it is the important thing is you are spending time together. And I'm not trying to preach or suggest I'm perfect, I'm not. I recognize that I could put a little more effort into the relationships I have with some of my friends. But the important thing is that I realize I need to work on it and that I put forth a little extra effort. Because the best experience you can have is one you can share with someone else.  There's my little piece of advice for today. Let me know what you think.
