Relative Something

As shocking as it is to already have arrived at this day, try considering it a warning about the day 2 months from now that will arrive just as fast as this one did.

The days fly by and we make our little plans and blink as the events come and go and become the recent past and then the distant past. Don’t forget to enjoy some of the moments along the way. A moment with siblings, sharing incredible pizza and drinks in the calm night air beside a wood fire, dreaming of possibilities. The 2nd annual Hays Reunion is in the works. These things don’t just happen. People make them happen. Memorable events will blossom from the efforts of the few who dare to imagine schemes of wonder and joy, weaving a fabric that is already connected by a loom of family ties.

But first, we gotta decide on a few things. Where and how much. Details, details. Oh, and what game we should plan that the most participants can play at the same time. My idea of each family performing a skit was shot down pretty quickly, thank goodness. Of course, I was just trying to prime the pump, brainstorming ideas, you know? I wonder if we could arrange an appearance by Sponge Bob Square Pants? I doubt that would be within our budget. I’d rather see that money spent on food anyway.

It seems like we have plenty of time to plan our gala for next summer, but if today got here as fast as it did, why should we expect the arrival of July to appear any different? Last night, we shared a very fine moment and did a fair amount of planning for the future. A pretty good balance, all things considered. I’ll let you know how it goes, it’ll be here before we know it.
