I hope you had a great day of Thanksgiving with your family and friends.  Thanksgiving is usually the time of the year when we cook more food than ever and when we eat the most food as well.  So, after all the cooking, eating, and great fellowship; What’s Left?

Of course, we have food for leftovers that will last for days, weeks, and possibly months.  Longer than a week, eat at your own risk. More importantly, what’s left is great memories and relationships that will last forever.  The one thing that drives everything in my life are RELATIONSHIPS!

Our lives are driven by relationships.

When I speak of relationships, I’m speaking of the human touch.  Not a physical touch, but a heart to heart connection.

Whether good or bad, every relationship experience drives us.

Why do you eat what you eat?  Why do you speak, think, act, and live the way you do?  Someone influenced you whether it was a family, friend, TV show, etc.

So, at the end of the day, what’s left?

RELATIONSHIPS!

Make them, respect them, nourish them, but most of all protect them.

Think about all the good things in your life and somewhere nearby you will discover a great relationship.

Action: Call or sit down with a friend or family member you haven’t spoken to in a while and tell them how they how impacted your life.

Question: What relationship(s) are driving you?  (Please leave a comment below, even if it is one word.  i.e. father, mother, spouse, sibling, children, etc.)  Please leave a comment below, send me a tweet on Twitter, or leave a comment on Facebook.
