We see what the person is wearing, how they have changed. We exchange information (after looking at the badge to see whom we are talking to)--name, occupation, family configuration, and how are your folks.<br /><br />Yet, as the years go by, I think more and more of us value family and love as successful. Others envy those who have made and sustained loving families with or without copious quantities of money. Yes, we might look a bit harder at those who seem to have both family and financial success, and we can't see that at the reunion, on the street, or in casual grocery conversations. Shopping for the latest toy(snowmobile, boat, flat screen TV, etc.) we wouldn't stop to think about what is most valuable to us, but given a life-threatening disease, pain, loss, we are brought up short and are forced to reevaluate our list of life treasures and goals. <br /><br />For some this thoughtful way of living arrives late; for some, never. For Team LaJoy it is an ongoing process that produces people we want to emmunlate and enjoy.<br /><br />Thanks for the blog, it doesn't need to be more glamourous or exciting. Please don't quit.<br /><br />LaelAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
