Holidays

I grew up in a family that celebrated holidays with family. Family played a major role in my upbringing and I feel family should play a major role in a childs upbringing. Reality is family is becoming less and less important these days. We are so busy supporting our families financially we don’t have the time to support them emotionally and phsycially. Family is so important. It is our roots and and helps us remember what is really important in this world. Due to circumstances beyond my control I am no longer close to my family and I miss that. I miss the traditions and the time spent getting to know my nieces and nephews. This is time I can never get back again. I have made my own family now and am working on building new traditions- but I still miss the real thing. Not only do I miss out on seeing my family but my partner misses out on getting to know some really great people. My challenge for you today is: “Is there ways you can build or strengthen the relationship you have with your family? What is holding you back from making this happen?
