Family. Family is so very important. Each and every individual's health and happiness affects the rest of us.

I'm not just referring to my blood relatives. I include my husband's family as well. Also included are friends that we have grown to care deeply about.

Along with this sense of family, comes a feeling of obligation. We are all obligated to look out for one another. Emotionally, we should rejoice together, and if someone is fragile or downhearted, then we should rally together to support them and lift them up. Materialistically, it is harder to put your finger on what lengths we are responsible for each other. Certainly, minor children should be provided for, whether by their parents or the entire family as a clan. And we should all try to be generous, if someone is lacking and we have enough.

Like water spilling through the compartments of an ice cube tray until they are all
filled equally - may all of our cups run over with happiness :)
