Memorial Day Weekend


Good Morning Friends & Family! 

Many of you will celebrate this Memorial Day, with your families and close friends, making memories and catching up on old times.  As you're finishing off that delicious cheeseburger, potato salad and sweet tea, I hope you'll take a moment to reflect on the qualities of the people you are in relationship with.  Just spending time together can help keep your hearts warm toward each other.

Oftentimes, the busyness of life can cause us to drift apart in our relationships where we don't feel as connected as we once did.  As you're connecting with people/family today, why not use this as an opportunity to express to each other the positive qualities you admire, respect and appreciate in each other?

Here's something you can try...play "I Have a Memory" game in which each of you think of a fun time from your past and you have 20 questions with which to guess the memory.  The point is to relive the moment, at least in your memories, of a special time you experienced together.

Today, we wave the flag of freedom and remember those who have given their life for our great nation.  Pause and reflect on their contribution and say a prayer for our country and leaders.

I hope you have a wonderful Memorial Day and a lifetime of making wonderful and fun memories!
