Family

Family,
As Christmas approaches I start to think about family and how things used to be. I miss the closeness my family used to share. I always saw my 1st cousins, who were more like my brothers and sister, on Christmas Day. Now I'm doing good if I see them once every 2 or 3 mths. I miss them. I miss the things we used to do together.

Part of this is my fault and I know I need to make a better effort to go see them myself, but I admit it's hard, there's only so many weekends in a month.

Maybe if we all took more time to spend with family things would get better in this world. I recently visited a great Aunt that I hadn't seen in 10yrs. It was a shock to realize it had been that long since I'd seen her. She was and is still, never far from my thoughts and prayers and it just felt like I'd seen her more recently than 10yrs. I'm not hoping to visit her every 6mths at least. Maybe if I plan in to visit family at certain times it'll become habit again and happen more often.

Fall is in the air?

Well it's Oct time for getting ready for fall, harvest, Halloween and soon Christmas. Okay so I'm already ready for Christmas. I'm wondering if Fall is really in the air though. For some reason it doesn't feel like fall. It's cooler some days but doesnt' look or feel much like fall to me. I'm reading, taking the kids to school and looking forward to the holidays.

Babies just woke so I gotta go.

hugs,
