What is really important

As we get a bit older and yes, a bit wiser, it starts to become glaring obvious of what is truly important in life. It's not where you live, what you do, how much money you make or how many toys you own....it's all about how important family and friends are. It's about the relationships, the experiences we share and the support that is given and offered that what makes us feel alive and have our purpose. I write this as I just talked to two very good friends....all of us have gone through experiences and tough times, and it seemed like there was such an appreciation that I could feel for our friendships over the years. It was a bit of warm fuzzy feeling that brought a smile to my face and a knowing that these are two friends that I will have for life. Not that I really doubted it, but it just reaffirmed it. It doesn't matter if we don't talk regularly, but when we do talk, we have a connection and just pick up where we left off. And I know they would be there for me and I would always be there for them. I was also with my family yesterday and today as well and I feel sooooo fortunate to have such a happy and caring family. I am truly blessed to have so many wonderful people in my life....
