What's Important

Heading back from our family's annual summer trip, which was incredible bonding time as usual. My two kids, nephew and one of my daughter's friends made it extra special.

There is simply nothing more important in life than the joy of your loved ones. For some people it is a favorite sister or cousin. Some raised by grandparents. Some revel in their spouse, children or grandchildren.

In our American culture summertime offers the opportunity to enjoy what's important. Make the most of it. I recently lost a close friend I've known since high school back in the 1970s, who succumbed to cancer at a way too early age leaving a wife and two young kids. As we watch too many folks taken from us too early, remember that every day is a gift.

Back to RM world this coming week...interesting things coming up..
