Friends

In the past year I have gotten to know SO many people online. And all of you add joy to my life in your own unique way!

Over the weekend I had the opportunity to spend time with friends in real time. My friend Keren decided to join us at the last minute. We were reunited after more than a year. She has been so influential in my life & we had a great time!

What do I love about her?

• we can laugh about anything & everything
• we are always ourselves – there is never any pretense
• she was always open to adventures – we did some fun things!
• even to the point of embarassing our girls – it was our job
• she taught me that hugging is ok – and that’s a great gift for anyone close to you
• my daughter is giving hugs again now that she’s in college!

When I was telling her about my decision to take this new job, she had an interesting insight. She said, ‘You always want to fix things & maybe you’ve done enough at the library & it’s time to move on.’ And maybe that explains my desire & willingness to mentor, answer questions, teach, and provide people with the help they need.

Do you have special people in your life that have taught you so much about yourself & the world around you? Have you spent time with them lately?
