To me there is no better way to celebrate the new year than with family. I must not be alone as Global family day is celebrated each and every year on January 1st. It is a day for more than just families though. As you may have heard we are all related in one way or another, in effect a large family. Global family day is a day for all of us to unite in peace regardless of faith, culture, race, nationalities and economic classes. For 48 hours during January 1st and 2nd families around the world will come together, ring belss and pledge to find a non violent solution to problems that they may face in the new year.
Each year and today in fact my family (three generations) come together to spend time together. This year you may want to follow as many others do and bring together your friends, families, neighbors, co-workers and whoever else is important in your life. Take this time to inspire and unify social groups letting others know that they are not alone. We are all part of the global family and hopefully one day will be able to come together to prepare for some of the worlds toughest challenges.
I love spending holidays with family, the more the merrier.
