Family (And Friends!)

Happy Easter, everyone! I hope you are all enjoying time with loved ones on this special day. Speaking of loved ones, let talk about them in this week’s blog post.

(But first, here is a goofy Easter photo)

Easter has always been a fun time for me because I get to spend it with my family (or friends). I think our loved ones are just what makes days like today so special. Think about it. If you took away the people who matter most to you, all you would have is a bunch of crazy looking people finding rainbow eggs in their yards. Christmas without friends is simply the superficial opening of presents. It truly is the people who make a holiday a holiday.

American director John Lasseter said it best…

You can achieve all the things you want to do, but it’s much better to do it with loved ones around you; family and friends, people that you care about that can help you on the way and can celebrate you, and you can enjoy the journey.

This really hits at the root of my message to you. Maybe you do not see your family very often, or maybe you have no family at all. You do have a community of some kind though. Embrace your friends, your coworkers, your inner circles. They make life worth living.

When was the last time you told a loved one how much they mean to you? When was the last time a loved one told you how much you mean to them? If you can remember, didn’t that feel nice hearing that you mean something to someone? If you can’t remember, don’t you wish you could?

Today, go tell someone you love them. Maybe even add in a hug. Spread your love today 🙂 xx
