I received an email from a friend I worked with many years ago. We have just recently "found" each other again after all these years have gone by. I value her friendship so much. She has been in my heart over the years even when we lost track of where each of us was living.

Friendships are valuable. We live in this world, and it is so easy to look around and see how terrible things have become, especially since I grew up anyway. But then I remember how I always heard adults say to me when I was growing up....Don't stop reaching out, don't stop caring, don't let things get you down. You may be just the one who can start a whole chain of events that can lead to changing the way things go in this world.

I have read several wonderful blogs tonight. I must say, we have a lot of very special people out there putting their thoughts and emotions in a form that we can share it too. It is wonderful that we can create friendships by visiting our friends right here.
