Friends & Family!

I know this being my first post and maybe alittle off topic from reading previous post, but here it goes. Over the years I have been blessed with being able to say I have alot of friends and GREAT friends, well people claim to be my friend. As the years pass us by we sometime wonder where did all the time go. Me for one I get invited by many of you to gatherings and outings that I was unable to attend due to WORK! This past month I have had to take care of my 2 elderly family members which are in a nursing home. Until this past July I took care of my grandfather for a great 6 1/2 yrs which I will cherish for eternity. While sitting there watching the one sleep waiting for her to wake up I realize the things I have missed out on. Not only with friends but with family as well. Also in my profession I am exposed to alot of negative and fatal situations. So I guess with a mixture of recent events and the fact that I truly faced a near fatal situation myself at a fire a week ago. Its time for me to make a change, to do more things for myself, family, and friends. For me I believe we all go through a course of timethat we forget the things that are most important to us. It unfortunately takes something to happen for us to come to a realization we are only here for a short time and to make the most of it. So for starters today I went to see every family member I could. This past Friday night I went to have a great well cooked dinner and a life long friends house (Da Booth). Also to finally see his daughter and to spend time with them. As the weather gets warmer I am hoping we can all have golf outings like in the past. I know you have been having them but I just wasn't able to attend due to other committments which are now for me on the back burner. So these were my thoughts not only for the day but for the past week. Man I feel better now. I am thankful for a great family and friends!
