Sometimes spending time with my family makes me a little melancholy. They are great people, don’t get me wrong, I love them dearly. But my family hasn’t yet learned the power of gratitude and love. It gets me down a little. Especially my mom.

I am very grateful for my mom. She has unwittingly taught me compassion and empathy. I think its because of her closed mindedness, that I am so open. LOL. I’ve been a rule breaker, I have forged my own path my entire life. And I’ve always tried to take my friends and family with me ;) No matter the cost; emotionally, financially, I have always wanted us all to succeed, grow, and evolve together…

I was feeling a little down on my drive home, because for all points and purposes the relationships with most of my family has become so damn superficial.  They are missing all the good gooey stuff, lol. But its always been so important to me, to keep progressing, to keep reaching; intellectually, emotionally, mentally, you HAVE to keep evolving.   Ha, is this what it means that its lonely at the top? ;)

As I was driving in my melancholy on the way home, this song came on.. I don’t know why but I’m totally moved to share it with you :)

Hope your Monday rocked the Casbah ;)
