Moments That Matter

Sometimes when I get caught up in ridiculous things, I scroll through my phones pictures and look at the moments that really matter.

Pitch In

Fall cleanup is no joke in my Dad's big yard. Throw in a hurricane and a Nor'easter, and well, it seems never ending. So whether they volunteer or their help is requested, everyone pitches in.

 

I love it. I love to look across the yard and see my family working together. I love the smell of the air and the crunch of the leaves. I love to see how proud they are when they make a contribution, no matter how small. I like to talk about how good it feels to do something for someone who does so much for you.

Our Thoughts are There

 We are hours away from New York and New Jersey. Our lights are on, our gas tanks full and our home dry. But we can't stop thinking about our friends and family who are having a tough time right now as a result of Sandy.  Somehow the devastation is more real, not only because our friends are effected, but because our memories still live there too.
