Realizing what you have

I know this is a jump ahead in the program and discussion. But I was lucky recently where I got to see my fellow classmate for the weekend. Although I may have only seen them for 4 hours total I can tell you it was some of the best time I have had. It continues to amaze me how we can reconnect in a f2f place and feel like nothing has ever changed. Now I know we have aged and our lives have changes but our friendship has not at any level. To me that is impressive. We are still willing to do anything we can for each other. Yes we keep in touch throughout the year and we share our upswings and downswings together.

The beauty of it all is yes we have evolved but the friendship remains intact at all levels. It's not all positive as we argue and disagree on a level that may not have been in our minds 20 plus years ago. But the fact the remains is we in the end know that our friendship is the key to our happiness. You know what that is cool.

I'm very happy to know that my friends that are also my family in my opinion are always there. Let's not forget where we came from or the foundation of our existence which is family and friends. It's vital that we have this foundation as we continue to grown in our lives. I'm fortunate and I hope you all are as well.

The other cool thing about this weekend was that we couldn't see them but we as a group reconnected with 4 other classmates who had made a decision to hook-up as well in another state. What is great about that is they reached out to us via email and telephone and we all reconnected.  Now that is awesome as they are all great people and we miss them all.

But the most awesome part of it is they not only called my friend but they called me and emailed me as well. What does that mean they took the effort to connect and re-ignite a storied friendships. I applaud them for doing so and I hope you all will consider doing so as well.

Do not cut off your friends!!!! Engage them and you know if it
s been a while don't be in fear of getting together online or offline. I know I have been very happy to do so online and also it's great to hear a familiar voice on the phone.

Keep connected with the present, past and the future it will make your life grand
