We all have a story. It’s a book that takes a lifetime to write. Chapter by chapter, it changes and evolves.
Recently, I’ve been re-reading a few chapters of my life. Some I would like to read again and again, while others I’d rather rip from the book.
Our choices remain as we continue to write.
I tend to hang on to the people I’ve met along the way. The ones that captured my heart in any way I want keep in touch with. I want to make the effort.
I’ve been told by at least one friend that I make an effort while they just don’t.
I’ve been blessed with a life I love living. Counted among the blessings are relationships.
I don’t want to walk away and forget anyone who has impacted my life.
If I’m nearby and have the opportunity to visit someone who might need a visit, I’m going to make an effort.
A friend once told me that he didn’t want to end up with any would haves, , should haves, or could haves at the end of the day.
That’s a good mantra by which to live.
Sadly we lose people we thought would always be there.
In recent years I’ve lost far to many loved ones. I don’t want to take anyone for granted.
We need to appreciate one another. It’s not always easy to do, but if we want our book to be a good read, we best try.
At the end of the day we can say; Life is good today.
