Thru my experiences with cancer, I've had some new realizations about what matters to me in my life. Money, jobs, possessions, well, they're just things. Sure, it's nice to have 'em, but it's really not that important in the grand scheme of things. What matters are the people. I've been lucky enough to surround myself with the most quality of folks (in my opinion, of course) thru my life, and it just really showed when I got knocked down in life and everyone just sprung into action. Even if that action was just sending me prayers or positive thoughts- I felt it, bigtime. You never realize how much you're loved or how many amazing friends you have in your extended family until you really need them....then they miraculously show up just in time and everything is OK. You feel empowered by love, friendship, compaionship. You cannot fail with such support.
Anyway, aside from just appreciating everyone so much, I miss them a ton. A lot of my 'family' of people live up and down the east coast, and well, here I am smack dab in the middle of the country. So, what this all means is that I get VERY excited when friends come out to visit us here. As the years have wound on out here it's fewer and further between as everyone has busy full lives these days. But, much to my joy and excitement, Andrew Miller and Chad White are coming out this weekend! I really cannot wait for some QT with the boys from the ATL and even more so look forward to our weekend of turn-making up in the mountains. Pics to soon follow......
