All ABout You in 52, Question 23

If you read my blog post earlier today you read about my time with my family Sunday. It was a real refresher for me. The day reminded me how much I get from family gatherings. To reconnect for day.

Family reunions are always important to my family. Usually 4th of July weekend we attend 3 reunions and my son goes to a fourth with a friend. The food is great, seeing family you only see once a year or more, sitting in the shade watching the kids play. That's a good southern reunion.

What ever your gathering, what type or specific time of family gathering refreshes you? It makes you feel good to hug to talk to laugh and to relax.

Questions 23


"What family gathering (either a specific time or in general) brings you the most joy or refreshment?"

My answer



Journaling
Family reunions at Great Grandma’s house was full of adventure with swept yards and fun cousins. After Great Great died it was moved to Grandma’s home. Our reunion is a time to catch up, take pictures, morn those that have passed, celebrate new births, tell jokes, pull jokes and EAT the best Thomas food. Once a year doesn’t seem to be enough.
