Family In Friends - Day 210 of 365

This post is for April 23, 2010

MEMORY -

Finding "Family" in Friends and finding "Friends" in family ..... what a great discovery.  Just now do I realize what a true friend was .... like I've said before "Pete was more than just an Uncle, he was my friend"

APPLICATION -

Today, Erik and I had to drive back home to reality. A wonderful weekend spent with wonderful people, made it hard to leave.  We truly felt like we were leaving family.  On the drive back, I thought about how much Peter would have loved to meet these dear friends of ours, they would have felt like family to him .... they were just those kinds of people ......

REFLECTION -

...... and Pete was just that kind of guy.

Good Job - Day 209 of 365

This post is for April 22, 2011

MEMORY -

Uncle Pete was a proud man.  Proud of his job, proud of his accomplishments, and proud of his family.  He never hesitated to give each of us "the pat on the back" when we did a good job.

APPLICATION-

Today .... I did a good job...... and had the urge to tell him all about it

REFLECTION -

Sometimes the people you love are not there to "give you a pat on the back" ... give yourself one and know that it's okay to celebrate alone
