I just got home from a great lunch with a few of my girlfriends.  We meet once a month for lunch, as life is busy.  We all met over 5 years ago when we were teachers (many of us first year teachers) and have stayed friends since.  It is nice.  I think as I get older I have underestimated what friendship really means.  Once you get married and then start to have kids, unless you make time for friends relationships fade and it is hard to get them back.  So, today I will make it a point to contact some old friends, who are important to me, but whom I just haven’t made time for.  Friends are too important to let life push them out. 

Thanks to those of you who are new friends.  It is nice to have you who share similar experiences.  New friends are just as necessary as old and I want to sent to shout out to my new friends.  You know who you are. 

Who have you forgotten lately?  What have you not taken the time for that adds to your life?
