I'm off my game. I really need to stop with the excuses and make this happen. The challenge is to think better, live better and write more. I am thinking better. I am living better. I am not writing more, though. Yay for the first two....gotta work on the last one. :-)
With that, I will share with you a little nugget from my day today.
My older sister, my son and I were the only ones at church this morning from our immediate family. We were invited by our Great Aunt to go to brunch with the fam. Uh, heck yeah!
So, we met all of our cousins at a restaurant and enjoyed a great time. I was full in more ways than one. Great fellowship and great food--can't go wrong with that. Even my cousin I wrote about previously who has the baby (see Reflective Surfaces) was there. That was a real treat.
My cousins' ages range from 16 to 22. They are hilarious. We talked about college, zombies, jobs and a whole bunch of other stuff. I really appreciated their company. It seems that although we are moving in a thousand different directions, we still have common ground. I love that.
As we continue to grow as individuals, my prayer is that we continue to maintain common interests to allow us to enjoy each other's company. We will always be family, but don't have to be friends. I really want us to be. But not just them, the other few that couldn't make it also. Within our family there are many gifts and talents. I think if we remain connected, we will find strength in each other, as many families do.
I don't have much to say today, but just wanted it noted that I heart my family.
Maybe tomorrow I will have some incredible epiphany that causes me to write lots and lots, but not today. Today I just want to revel in having great people in my life. :-)
