I don't often wax sentimental on my blog, but while I should have been making my menu plan and shopping list, I am sitting here crying and grateful with a painful lump in my throat after reading my friend's remembrance of a very special lady that we both knew.

Reading it reminded me of how fragile and uncertain life can be and that our relationships with our family and friends are more important than any other silly distractions that can take our time.  I also reflect on the many friends I have made through my life and the impact for good that they have had and still have on me.  Not just friends but family members and in-laws and so on... People are oh so important.  I don't think I tell those people often enough how much I love them and appreciate them.... It is good to be reminded of what matters most.
