Today’s Challenge: Imagine everybody you meet is a family member.
I know some people aren’t close with their family, but I’m one of the lucky ones who LOVES my relatives like crazy. I’m not perfect, they’re not perfect, but around these people, I can be myself and they can be who they are. I feel the same way about my friends, they are family, too.
Sometimes I get caught up in my own world, in my own busy life, and I don’t want to connect with others; I don’t want to put in the effort. 😦 So I decided to imagine that these strangers are my family, no need for awkward small talk. I already know these people and they already know me.
For an introvert, this is not always easy, but this little trick of the mind has opened up my world and I’m loving it! And truthfully, aren’t we all family… aren’t we all so very much connected anyway… 🙂
HAVE A GREAT WEEKEND… AND HAVE FUN WITH YOUR HUGE FAMILY!
I love my crazy family, too, and I’m looking forward to having them here for Passover.
Hope you have a great weekend, too!

Becky – What a wonderful thought to start the weekend with. I was feeling down and without much energy from taking care of my husband, in his continuing illness, and having read your post, I believe I’ll even be able to face the folks at the supermarket. That’s saying a lot for me! Thanks for the uplifting post. I needed to hear this today. Sheri
