Treasure your relationships, not your possessions.
— Anthony J. D'Angelo
Today, I wanted to take a few minutes to reflect on this quote. In this day and time, we need to be most appreciative of those who are near and dear to us, our friends. Sometimes we forget to let them know how dear they are to us, and how we feel about the slightest endearment they show towards us. Days may pass when we do not communicate on an individual basis, but that does not change our relationships. Those folks are the ones who are treasured for being there when we need them. Money has no effect on how we feel about those people, their value cannot have a dollar put on it. Our possessions, in turn, do cost money and are not of importance to our mental health and well-being... those are material things, and they have no real effect on our lives. Yes, some of our possessions are necessary for healthy living, but there comes a time when one learns that money does not buy everything .... that mental relationships with other humans are brought to the fore, and one recognizes that those encounters are what really make our lives viable. It is not easy to find a balance in our lives, but family and friends make or break our day to day attitude about life in general.

So, friends and family, know that I treasure you for all that you add to my life, and to the rest of our family's lives. Over the last 6-8 months, we have encountered many health issues in our family. Many individuals have expressed concerns to us, and we really are indebted to those folks. Those are the relationships that are prime examples to which I refer. Thank you for being a part of that group, from the bottom of my heart
