Life Is Short-Treasure Friendship



On April 27, I'm going on a Girlfriends' Vacation with Mary, Di, Helen, and Sue. We're all retired teachers and met in the early 90's at Breckenridge Elementary School. Now we're scattered in different locations, but we try to gather to make new memories and have some fun at least once a year. We'll all spend a week in Mary's home state of Arizona. The second week, Mary and I will travel through Arizona into Utah to do some hiking and sightseeing. I treasure these special friends and look forward to our adventures.

As I get older, I've come to realize how important friendship is. Do you make friends a priority in your busy life?

Cherish friends!

  2. How exciting to have this fantastic trip with great friends just around the bend! Your words are inspiring, as it is difficult to keep hold of our friends when we're so busy with living life. I try to keep a balance, and make time for friends at least a couple times a month, but it sure isn't easy. Luckily, I belong to a book group that is built on some pretty enduring friendships, so that happens every month! I rarely miss, as being with these friends nourishes me.

    I would love to find this poster! Life is short!

    Have a wonderful vacation!

  6. I thought the girls were from way back, when you lived in the other place!

    This is good, Barb. I am saving it.

    Don't forget your suntan lotion!

  7. I'm more of a lone wolf-ette when it comes to real-time friends -- but I'm okay with that.

    Enjoy your trip, Barb. Sounds wonderful. :)

    Have lots of fun with your friends....
    Making memories and holding tight to friends.

  9. As I get older, I too realize how important friendships are. People are what counts in life. The rest is icing. Good to see you making time for people. I'm working on it.
