"It is more fun to talk with someone who doesn't use long, difficult words but rather short, easy words like "How about Lunch?'"
---Winnie the Pooh
I love Winnie the Pooh...we can all find a little of ourselves in each of the characters that live in the 100 acre woods. Some days are just Eeyore kind of days and most days I feel like I live with a house full of Tiggers...bouncing around through life!
I am so incredibly blessed. To be living a life that is so full...filled with faith, family and friends...
and lots of times, I feel like I live in the 100 acre woods--filled with friends that I can laugh with, cry with, get into trouble with and try to get out of trouble with, and always pray with....No matter what. I wish I could give everyone a group of friends like I have. I always know that no matter what the struggle, my friends will be there. We have been through struggles alongside of each other, with each other and we always come back stronger.
My friends share my struggles as we all navigate through the world of disabilities, medications, PCA's, gaining and losing weight, adoption, and we help us try to hold on to a sense of who we were before we started raising children and how richly we have been changed by them...
My friends help remind me of the reasons why I live the life I do when I lose my focus. They help me to stay refreshed and committed to all that is truly important in life. I can not imagine life without them....
If you live to be 100, I hope I live to be 100 minus a day, so I never have to live without you.---PoohThank you my friends, you have divided my sorrows and doubled my joys...
