The right person in the family

This was a crazy emotional weekend for me and I have found that being with just the right person fulfills just the right need.  Although the family may make us crazy sometimes, boy to they rally to make you feel better when you need them.

Feeling depressed - call brother.  2 1/2 lunch with our favorite waitress and 2 bottles of nice wine results in me turning from tears to laughs while discussing ridiculous new business options.

Feeling ugly - visit with baby sister.  She brings flowers and cookies.  We help her kids learn letters and realize it what is really important.

Feeling hopeless - open package from twin sister who just happened to send her favorite bundt cake mix.  Now am anticipating mail instead of fearing it.

Feeling lost - visit parents. Listen to stories of their parenting trials and take their acceptance of my mistakes.

Feeling overwhelmed - lay down on bed with husband who listens and smiles.

Today I am feeling lucky :-) and apparently a little sappy.
