I recently got together
with my 10 cousins (and their spouses) from one side of the family. While we are all in touch with each other on
a regular basis, we couldn’t remember an occasion (since we were teenagers)
when we were all in the same room at the same time.
We had a great long
weekend – with a BBQ; exploring Rock City Park – the world’s largest exposure
of quartz conglomerate in Oleans, NY; participating in a Murder Mystery aboard
the RMS Tyranic in 1912;
a visit to the Seneca-Iroquois National Museum; too much food and drink and a
generally great time.
If you’re like me, you let
life get in the way of the things that are truly important – keeping in touch
with friends and family. The week after
I came back from the reunion, I took the time to call several friends who I had
not spoken to recently.
So my challenge to each of
you as summer gets underway and life slows down – contact at least one person
who you haven’t seen or spoken to recently and catch up.
Wishing all of you a great
July!
