Close ranks around the family
By Sara Pérez Tomé. Family counselor
The sun begins to move away from the Earth and we notice the autumnal chill, it's time to close ranks in our family again. During the summer we enjoy free time and good temperatures in different landscapes and meals; but above all, we were able to enjoy our marriage and children without hurries or tensions, which arise every year at the end of the school year.
Autumn and winter not only serve to shelter us and prepare us to winter comfortably in our homes, also to put into practice everything we have recovered with love and communication in our family during the holidays.
A very special new course begins, the family economies will make real efforts to get ahead with the rise of basic products and the purchase of what is necessary to start the month of September. Domestic harmony may depend on the economy, the number of children, the school or the house in which you live but the key is in the parents. It will depend on your attitude to the circumstantial and knowing how to distinguish between what is urgent and what is important.
Important for your family is to reconcile love, mutual support and time necessary to put it into practice.
The family keeps daily scraps of time more or less rewarding, but perseverance helps maintain the love necessary to overcome the difficulties.
The cold will invite us to warm our hearts through our family. The time spent with the family may mean giving up more money or having less for ourselves; But time is not an expense but a long-term investment. Each new course we can be better parents than the previous one, we do not have to agree with our failures or weaknesses; It is not worth to be a missing link within the family, we are all necessary and indispensable when we give the best of ourselves.
