Greetings from Chilly Florida
12.24.03 (11:22 am)   [edit]
Well actually it's not that bad. It was in the 60's (F) today but since I had packed shorts and tank tops, it's still wasn't warm enough. I know I have no right to complain. Some of you have driveways to clear of snow and single-digit temperatures, but you know me (tragically self-involved 20-something), I have to bitch and moan.

I'm in central Florida with my Uncle and his wife, my cousins, my Mom and brother, enjoying the family togetherness. In the next three days some of my Mom's siblings will be stopping by to see her (she has 10 in all) and their kids and their kid's kids will be coming along too. My Uncle has a huge house but it's gonna be cramped pretty soon and you know what, I'm loving it. I don't mind sharing a bed with 2 other people or sleeping on the floor if necessary. I don't mind babysitting younger cousins or listening to my Uncle's corny jokes or helping to prepare a meal for 20+ people. It just feels so good when the door bell rings and you know that another 5 family members you haven't seen in years have arrived.

I get gooseflesh when my Mom and her brothers and sisters get together and try to remember the last time they were all under the same roof and how strict my grandfather was, and how my Mom was the good one and how my Uncle was a trouble maker and how my other Uncle was a spoiled brat and had to have Pepsi with dinner everynight or else he would throw a tantrum and then they would disagree over who was the bed-wetter. I could go on, but you get the picture. When I see my Mom and her siblings together I think that there is nothing that could divide them. They always seem to know exactly what is going on in each other's lives. There's no time wasted in catching up on news that is more than a day old.

All of this makes me think about my brothers and how we are with each other. Will we be the same? Will we keep up the traditions with my cousins? It would be such a loss if we all drifted apart. Just knowing how good this all feels, we can't let that happen.

I wish you all the best this holiday season and hope that 2004 will be a banner year for all of us in our relationships, our careers, our spirituality, our personal development. For those of you who are travelling, be safe! Love you guys!

Nat and Sherbert
