Family

It is not often that I fall in to the cliché category of things, especially when it comes to Hallmark Holidays like Fathers Day. BUT. Yesterday from the morning to the night was an amazing day for my family and I. I really needed that. There are not many things in this world that allow me to feel so whole and centered as being at peace with my family. There is nothing in the world that is quite fulfilling as having a loving family and loving them in return. I am now a fan of this Hallmark Holiday, because it is set up to help those like my self, who are caught up in the rat race (for now at least) of American Life and too often allow for the important things to fall by the wayside; like LOVING your family. Yesterday’s ‘holiday’ needed to do no more than serve as a reminder that I have a loving family, and I should take time out of my life to spend with them while I can; no one gets further from death in this world, so why wait?

Also, I now have a reminder that I probably should not wait for this once a year occasion to come to this realization. I think I am allowed to spend more time than one day out of the year with my family…..they are awesome…
