A Balanced Life - Words of Wisdom - 1st week of June

This month's theme is FAMILY

QUOTE:
"Cherish your human connections: your relationships with friends and family."
- Barbara Bush

INSPIRATION:
I came from a very small family, I only had one brother and he passed away in 2010. It devastated me. He was someone I could call any time. He understood me and not only was he my brother, he was my friend. I still miss him to this day. I have been blessed with wonderful friends and for that I am grateful.
Some of my friends are like family to me. These are the kind of people who you know you can call at 3:00 am when you ran out of gas and they would come bring you gas, a cup of coffee and not tell you how dumb you are that you ran out of gas. The secret to those kinds of friendships is you must become that kind of friend. I have cultivated my friendships from grammar school, high school, college and old neighborhood. I kept in touch and I cherish each of those friends because they were a part of my life and my history.

ACTION:
What are you doing today to stay connected to the people in your life? Do you call them? Email them? Write letters? Visit them? Cherishing your connections means making time for them in your busy schedule.
