Is there someone in your life who is all that?
If there is, have you thanked them for all they do for you?
In June, it will be six years since I left my "old life" and started over. again. The first year was very difficult for me. There's nothing like being over 40 and having to 'start all over'. It was a daunting task looming ahead of me, and I plodded on and persevered. One of the things that "saved me" was getting online and making a few new friends. As much as I love my girlfriends that I left behind, it was hard to maintain a long distance friendship, especially when they're still in the neighborhood and interacting with the life I left behind. But over time, I made new friends, new "sisters", new discoveries, and had new adventures.
As I look back at all the changes I've made in the last six years, I'm amazed. I have grown; I have changed; I have made changes that are irreversible. With a little willingness to learn, and a lot of encouragement from some very special people in my life, most of my dreams have come true.
I wouldn't be the person I am today without these special people in my life.
So here's a great big THANK YOU to each and every one of you.
On the other hand... is there someone in your life....
and you are all that for them??
If not, take a look around, and see if you can
make a difference in someone else's life!
Pay it forward!!
PS: While I intended this to be a post about one very special friend in particular, as I was writing it, I found that I couldn't single one out; there are so many perfectly wonderful friends out there, and I love you all!!
