I have this ornament hanging on our tree. It's really simplistic but the saying got me thinking. How true it is the warmth that we feel when meeting with our friends. In the past month I have met with my old friends,Cheri, Heidi, Diane S., Diane B., Kathy V. and the feelings of warmth are always there for me. We just pick up where we left off,whether it was days, months or years that we've seen each other. Even talking on the phone there's a connection. Talking with my friend Kim or my friend Mike(bokimame) helps me feel better. It was the loss of my sister and premature birth of my granddaughters that made me realize how important it is to keep those treasured friends. Out of sadness good things happened. In our generation time is not always a commodity,and I appreciate the times they have created for me,to support,comfort,and chat with me. As far as time goes I really am frustrated that I myself can't find time. So this Christmas season I've decided to let go of things ,like who cares if the tree isn't perfect or if the gifts are wrapped, cards sent,cookies baked? I'd much rather gather with my close friends and feel their warmth and enjoy them while we're all still here on earth. Maybe I'm sentimental but there are worse things that I could be!
