This could just as easily be a question for what do you make time for, but for me, this is a question of who, because my schedule is so different from those around me I don't have time to see anyone outside of work except on the weekends. With only 2 days a week. Sometimes only one day a week.

Hopefully anyone reading this has a schedule where you don't feel like your neglecting some relationships, whether it's your family, your friends, or those on your spouse's side who are family and friends.

Either way though. Whatever sitution your in, who do you make time for to see, call, and spend time together?
 
I have a really bad habit of only speaking to those whom I see on a daily/weekly basis. If it wasn't for sites like facebook, or this one, I wouldn't speak to other family members or friends for quite a while. It really comes down to me being a home body, and not really wanting to go out and do anything unless it is suggested by someone else (friend, church member, etc...).

I feel the same way too often. But I hope I not losing some of them because it foesn't look like I'm willing to put an effort towards them.
 
I have to be honest, I have to make time for myself. If I do not then I struggle to make time for others. I am a father of 4 kids, a husband to a beautiful wife. I am an employer of 29 people.

If I did not make time for myself I would go mad. When I make time for myself, I reflect, pray, speak to God. Chew the cud. I bring my thoughts, problems, anxieties to be a better dad, a better husband a better employer. When I do that then I find that it easier to make time for those that for some reason God has given me.
