Because of the goal I mentioned a few posts ago, I have been spending more and more time with my mom recently. Now, several months ago, this may have posed a big problem for me, but as of late, my mom and I have become closer than ever.
This morning, we made a spontaneous decision to go for a day of shopping in a town two hours away.
Now, shopping is enough to be thankful for, but what I am really thankful for is the four hours (two either way) I spent talking to my mom. It has become almost a tradition for us to talk during our car rides, and our chats normally consist of: university, psychology, family matters, stories from my childhood, and health and fitness (my mom is a personal trainer and spends many hours a day teaching people about health). Today we talked about the theory of 'Nature vs. Nurture,' which is one we have pondered at many times before, and I quite like this topic.
I'm glad I had time to talk with my mom today.
