Staying in touch
This past week i received word that another friend of mine had passed on, for the past 15 years someone who had been inportant in my life has passed away. There has been family, friend's and someone i had been engaged to, with eash passing i think of all the times we shared together and the many laughs that we had. And each and every time i say to myself i am going to keep in touch with everyone better, make more of an effort. These wonderful people were not in there 80's or 90's where i could say they had a nice long life, no they were between 20-60. Knowing them all they would say they had a full life, but it was not considered to be long. It may be human nature to think that there is always going to be another chance to get in touch, send an e-mail,card or make a phone call. But then you get the call and the time that you thought you had to get in touch is now gone forever. That's the worst part of saying goodbye, there will never be another chance for anything. Everything that you did or did not do is done.
And in reflecting back on all of these realtionship's i have again promised myself to keep in better touch with the people i am blessed to have in my life, my life would not be the same without the amazing family and friend's that i have. I thank the Lord each and everyday for all of you, you make my life better in every way. Knowing me, you know that i am not good with expressing my love for all of you that does not get me misty eyed. As i am writing this my eyes are moist, but that's o.k.. If it takes my slobbering all over the place and going through a box of tissues every day, that's what i will do.
So, i warn you get ready. I am going to reach out and stay in touch with you all, this thought might make you tense up and want to change your e-mails and address's, dont do it just embrace what is to come.
There will be my blog, e-mails, cards and phone calls, all of you are to important to me not to make the effort.
Yes life is busy and that seems to be the number one excuse for folks not keeping in touch, but in this day and age of instant everything it is not a big effort to do so. My top priority is to keep in touch with everyone, i hope that all of you will want to keep in touch with me as well, i get very excited when responses come to my e-mails and blog. They make my day!!!!
Wishing you all a great day filled with laughter and love

I love your blog!!!
This is the first chance I've had to view it and it is wonderful. What a great way to keep in touch with everyone.
I agree with you that we sometimes forget to reach out to friends and express our joy at having them as friends until it is too late.
I'm especially blessed to have you and your mom as friends. The time that we shared when I was back home visiting was so special to me. Sitting on your front porch and gabbing is what we should all do more often. I miss you and your mom and you two are always in my thoughts.
Keep up the blog!
Hugs and well wishes - Jennifer
