As I write this it is a quiet Sunday morning in Sonoma California. We’ve spent a couple days with old friends. Old friends are precious people. These are my wife’s old friends and through privilege of our marriage they are my friends too. The internet and that many times abused media called Facebook allows you to make contact with people you knew long ago. Sharing on the internet is one thing. Being invited into a friends home is a whole different thing. So we share our experiences, our common understanding of life lived, and some appreciation for making it intact this far. We have accepted the end result of our lives. What choice do we have? In reality we always did things our own way and that at times was a problem. What we friends have in common are the same frailties, but we joy in how much we are blest. Yesterday’s gone, tomorrow is not really in our hands, but today is the day we can give grace to each other, maybe lean on one another just a little, to let us know it’s OK; we are made of the same clay. So I am thankful for the grace and kindness of our wonderful old friends. It’s been a long sometimes tough road but we’ve made it this far and it is so sweet to have a hug at the end stretch of this trail we call life. So my hats are off to all of our friends and I so appreciate their hospitality. Thanks so much for your kindness to us.
