Be grateful on Wednesdays. I am grateful for friends

Today's Quote.....A friendship can weather most things and thrive in thin soil, but it needs just a little mulch of letters and phone calls and small silly presents every so often- just to save it from drying out completely. 
Pam Brown

Just returned from the OCDSB retirement reception. A friend and I went to support a friend who taught at CHEO. While I was there I ran into several teachers I had worked with over the years and it was soooo nice to see people I hadn't seen for years and to recall memories with them. Even though I don't see them on a regular basis it is good to connect. I must say though lately I have been more diligent in connecting with friends and having them over for a visit. In the month of July we have 3 different sets of friends coming for supper and a visit. Some groups we haven't seen for a long time and we look forward to catching up. It is important to stay connected. It is something you have to consciously think about. A day turns into a week, turns into a month, turns into a year and before long you realize it has been forever since you have connected. We never know when it will be too late to connect so when someone comes into your thoughts take that as a sign you should be contacting them.
Glad for all the connections I made tonight and the ones I will continue to make over the next while.
