I have been on vacation for the last week. Cliff and I went with his brother Ted and his wife Dixie to Texas this last week visiting with cousins of Cliffs. We had a great visit, with all involved and an opportunity to get to know them all a little better. Also visited with an aunt and uncle and cousin in Platte City Missouri on the way home.
It is so important to keep contact or take advantage of the opportunity to get to know our family. First, it makes our world a lot bigger. Second, we find out about our history, which helps us to know more about our self. Third, it can give us the chance to step away from our own life and learn about someone else’s life and challenges as well as success.
When we returned, I did find out my story "A Case of Hearts" was a finalist in the contest sponsored by The Write Place.
Being a total skeptic, I don't know if all the entries were finalist after the actual winner or if there were enough entries to actually have nine other stories to become a finalist. Kind of like everyone gets a participation trophy. I have asked for an appointment to discuss the way I can improve my story. I know it needs improvement. So maybe when we meet I will find out if I actually received an honor or just a ribbon for showing up.
Until next, time "Remember Who You Are"
