Stuff that matters.

I was reading through my blog list today and saw the below YouTube clip.



Basically (if you don't have the 10 minutes), it's a film of soliders coming home early and surprising their families. The expression of the first girl says it all. I was watching this film right before one of the most difficult conversations I would have to face this month and indeed probably this year. It really put into perspective what really matters and what we should really value in life. I managed to go into the meeting very calm with a clear perspective on how important this meeting REALLY was.

People who we deeply care about and obviously where this is mutual are so important for us. For some reason, as a human, we can't just latch on to anyone, we actually need to have 'our people' to be happy. Just goes to show the importance of long lasting deep relationships and the effect it can have on us when we are seperated for a while. There is something about seeing someone who is so important to us after a long period that comforts us and brings overwhelming joy.

If you don't have anyone that makes you feel this way I suggest you focus more on building those relationships. It's the best feeling in the world.
