Greetings!

Today, I met with a few of my coworkers for a surprise baby shower luncheon. We all used to work together on the same team, and have each gone our separate ways. Some of us still work for the same company, but in different departments. It was nice to clear an afternoon to just reminisce and catch up on what has been happening with one another. What I found interesting was that when we came together, it was almost like we had never been apart. There were no awkward moments of silence…actually, there were several conversations going on at once…just like family. The surprising thing is that we have all made a conscious effort to come together every so often so that we don’t lose that connection. Someone in the group will send an email, and anyone that can make it does…no pressure.

I am noticing that happening a lot lately. I have family members that get together every month or so to just eat a meal together. Some of my nieces have a cousins day, and some have sister weekends. I even have one friend that texts me every day just to say good morning…I love you…have a blessed day, and another that calls me every few days, and when I pick up the phone, she starts singing….too funny. I don’t take any of that for granted. Life is so fleeting, and time goes so quickly that if you don’t grab those moments…they soon disappear.

So, my goal for the rest of this year is to stay connected. To let people I care about know it. To not think about why they are in my life, and just enjoy the fact that they are there.

Rejoice with those who rejoice, and weep with those who weep (Romans 12:15).  

Until next time…

Be blessed
