Today is the final full day of the family reunion. A bunch of people are going on the boat to take the dogs out. I opted to not participate. I wanted to do other things. I took a walk around and took photos, mailed a postcard and just hung out. I ate lunch on the deck and organized my stuff.
I like that I have spent a bunch of the time relaxing and spending time with relatives that I have not seen in 8 years. I wanted to make sure to connect with them so we can begin having a richer relationship moving forward. I want to see my other relatives too but I saw my brother B twice in the last few months. I saw my brother E a few months ago. I haven't seen my brother C but I connect with his family frequently over the phone and video.
I feel relaxed after five days and not stressed like I normally do at the end of these family gatherings.
The final pizza and alcohol gathering was fun for a while but I left to go pack. I am not a big fan of group peer pressure to drink. They all seemed to be having fun and I was not missed. Plus I will be ready for my departure tomorrow.
Until tomorrow...
