I started this blog and I have yet to write a single entry. Matt is definitely a more talented writer and I happily handed it over to him. Just like many other things in our lives, I get it started and he runs with it. Take for example, our Facebook account. I had a nice, little, private account with my closest friends and he adds his and it blows up to nearly 800.
While Matt is away on a "boys trip," with his brothers, I started to contemplate the benefit of taking trips with people who've known you forever. Through these relationships, I find it remarkable that spending time with those who have known you from childhood ground you in your core self.
These relationships allow you shake off the labels of mom, dad, wife or anything other than the core you. It was in Mexico, on the beach, with my childhood friends where this thought really took shape. Connecting to the core "Holly" provided me with the opportunity to come home re-freshed and more capable of giving of myself. My true self.
I loved that Matt was able spend time with his brothers. I wish I could have been a fly on his shoulder and watched as the three of them interacted without a care in the world.
Connecting ourselves to the core us is as important as anything we can do for those we love!
