Family

Family means everything. It doesn't mean just those we're related to by birth, but those we love, too. We always want the best for them, and stand by them through every -- the good and the bad.

This week for me has been 'the bad'. A few things said, a misunderstanding, and it has me taking a good hard look at how things are, how I thought things might be, and trying to decipher the real truth that usually falls somewhere in the middle of the extremes. Do expectations that resonate deep within us have an effect on how we relate to people we love?

This week for me has been 'the good', too. My folks just arrived in town, they haven't been here in two years, this will be the first time they've seen my new home, and I'm excited about that. It's always good to see my family. But they have come here for a bad reason, my mother's sister's husband died suddenly of a massive heart attack (RIP Uncle Jim .. we miss you!).

Why is it when one or two things go topsy turvy,
the rest of life feels like that as well?
