Relationship Reflection#2 - 

My Children, My cats, My Immediate Family Members and My Work 

My most closest relationship is with my 2 children. They have taught me the most about the joy of giving and sharing and now that they are adults, I find I am experiencing another level of joy and satisfaction in them giving back to me in terms of having another generation to love. Now, I have several grand children to play, go to the movies and  spend quality time with and I find the give and take in these relationship to be so rewarding.

I find that my two cats give me more in terms of love than I give back to them. They don't require much in terms of food and littler costs but they make me feel I am so important to them every day. They talk to me in different tones of MEOW's, especially when I talk back to them. When I move, they move. They follow me all over the apartment and when I sit down, they climb on my lap until I get up and tt's a great feeling to know that they care.

Other than my co-workers, my sisters are all the adults I need to interact with. They are warm, loving and they are my best friends. We call each other every weekend. We shop, have lunch and take trips together with all the kids at least once a year. Above all, they can be trusted to give good advice, even if it hurts. It's a wonderful thing to have close relatives you can enjoy and count on to be there if you need anything.

Lastly, my close coworkers and the children are what I look forward to seeing everyday. I love nurturing the chldren as I visit classrooms everyday and I love the respect and tireless nurturing natture of the staff.

All of these relatlionships have inspired and supported the giving nature I feel inside. They nurture a sense of peace in me and I am so very grateful for that.
