Over the past few weeks, for many good reasons, I've been spending a lot of time with my family.
I've always been aware how much my family have done for me - over the years I've racked up some debt to them, and I don't just mean the couple of hundred I still owe my Mum from my travels! But going away, and events since I've returned, have brought in to sharp contrast how short I've fallen when it comes to showing my appreciation.
But I am beyond grateful for having this wonderful bunch of people I can always depend on, no matter what, and now I'm making the best of everyday by enjoying their company and investing my time in truly appreciating them for all that they are. They're not perfect - after all, who is? - but they're mine, and I love them.
So here comes my words of 'wisdom': whoever your family is, whatever you call them (relatives or not), make sure those who are most important to you realise that they are, and enjoy the time you have with them, because it may not last forever.
