FRIENDS....
Welp, been busy this week...working at Curves more than usual, looking up old friends and making new ones over coffee at the Pecan Porch here in Catoosa. Making sure I keep my BEST friend,Rick,close to my heart, taking care of his needs and being paid back in spades. My boys are often right about so many things these days. Either they are getting smarter or I am getting older. But they have talked about the importance of friends in our lives and theirs. I have been hooking up with Sandy Martin and Jean Ayo...2 people I let fall out of my life...making new ones at Curves who share many trials in common with me.....lifes all about changes, family and friends. If you find good ones, you shouldn't let go...they are priceless. Some may just be there for a season and may play an important role at the time, but then leave for different reasons, but there is always a new one to make if you take the time and are transparent enough for them to feel safe with you. We get too busy, but with what?! Is it really important? Does it make our lives better or just fill up time that we could be using to enjoy life and friends and family? As we ALL know, life is WAY stinking too short to squander on the worthless things this world throws at us....take time to not just smell the coffee, but to drink some slowly with a friend.

Indeed. Other people are mostly good and don't bite.
Oh..."and friends are friends forever, if the Lord's the Lord of them...and a friend will not say never..." I can't remember the rest...but I couldn't let that one go...
