Friends




“Many people will walk in and out of your life, but only true friends will leave footprints in your heart.” Eleanor Roosevelt

As the year closes, I think back to how successful it has been in regards to friendship. We SMF’s have had a number of great get-togethers with more in the works. We had an amazing reunion this year from high school. Near and far, the people, places and events keep calling us back together. WOW…how good does it get?! The feeling of getting together and reminiscing the past while sharing the now just doesn’t get old. It reminds me of the Cheers theme song, “Where everybody Knows Your Name” because of the comfort it brings with it.

Like an old slipper, your favorite bathrobe, your favorite coffee mug, a quick touch-base phone call, a favorite book, an old worn down album and all the comfort food you can think of….there be your friends too! For friends are such blessings. They are of joint choosing. You to them and mutually, them to you….like magnets! For whatever reason, they complete you in some fashion, as you them. When your circle of friends gets larger and larger it becomes like a dance to the rhythm of life. Ebbs and flows will come and go as we all experience our seasons. As the cycles continue, we regroup, nurture, share and release all that we have to offer.

This year was one of those fascinating years when all the magic came together. It doesn’t happen each and every year, but when it does, it’s magnificent….and this is the year that was.

Links below are a few reminders of how great friendship really is….something to sing about!
