Day 16
Family

Family is important in all walks of life.  I believe that our family either genetic or chosen is the launch pad to who we are and how we perceive the world.  Kindness and happiness, therefore, are integral to the family unit.  The Dalai Lama and Mother Teresa both discuss the importance of family to our world.  Mother Teresa stated that the way to change the world is in going home and loving our family.  Sometimes, issues or time can stretch that concept and make it difficult to achieve.  In the last few days, family time has become more important as I meditate on this notion of family and love.  I do wish to change the world for the better as happiness is something that we all should share in and enjoy.  May it begin with the ones I love and spread outward is my simple wish for today.
