…. smiling for photos.”
I laughed when I came across this quote from the American actor Harry Morgan, and it certainly sums up this past Sunday..
I met up with my cousin Tracy at my mum’s house (her aunt).
This was for convenience, as she’s roughly halfway between us, and as my mum is the last of that generation on my side of the family, it was great to include her.
There was 10 of us in total, all crammed into mum’s smallish house. I can’t remember when it was last that full!
It was great catching up with each other’s news.
We haven’t seen each other like this for 8 years, and a lot has changed for us both.
We had a great time, talking and laughing and reminiscing.
And then she insisted we took a group photo!
You may know that I’m not a fan of photos of me, and neither is my husband, or my daughter, or my brother.
However, it is difficult to say no to Tracy.
Despite this, the day was really good and It made me realise we don’t do this enough.
Having a business to run, a husband to keep in check, and 2 daughters now back from uni, it’s easy to get lost in the everyday.
So, just remember to take some time out from the mundane tasks of life and catch up with family and friends. It will do you the power of good.
PS. Harry Morgan appeared in the American series M*A*S*H among others, as well as appearing in over 50 films and on Broadway.
