Relationships

I once had someone tell me I do alot for people, I also had someone tell me I try and do to much for people. Its interesting the different aspects people take on service, I've always seen it as a way to build relationships. In relationships I find value, value that some do not understand. Every person I meet I tend to treat the Same, like family (which is a good thing), because they deserve your respect until its been taken advantage of. now that i have been blabbing on..........

A key idea in building relationships is offering to spend your time, that you could be doing something else, with them. This is how I feel I get to know people the best, i hope you can agree.

My Christmas break I spent down in PHX, Arizona to visit my aunt who i had never met before, she is a great person I noticed that when I first got there. She bought me stuff, and did a whole lot for me without me asking. After the trip I asked my father why she would spend her time and money on me. My dad said she doesn't have children or a husband, she needs some one to love on. I added that she didn't need to do that much. He stared and said she was investing in time lost with family she had waited her whole life to meet. I love my aunt Deb.

Now I guess what I'm trying to say After all that is Relationships are more Valuable when you don't have any at all.
