Friends, Family & Relatives; the new normal

Friday, November 23, 2012

I was watching an episode of ‘The New Normal’ on TV the other night and there was a line that really resonated with me:
“You can choose the people you consider your family. You cannot choose your relatives.”

I must have thought about that for hours. For me, it is true. The people in my life that I love most, like Jan, Deb W., Deb T., Helen, Bill and Joe; they are not just my friends, they are my family. When put in comparison, they are there more than any of my relatives. They do more, know more, love more and judge less… The list goes on and on.

Any way, it was all very curious to me. Food for thought I guess.

    I've had to do this for years, and it works well for me. Only my son is a relative I consider family.
