Appreciate

Over the past week a lot of people I know have had tragedies in their lives. It's made me think more about what in life is important.

Many in my neighborhood felt a loss when a neighbor passed suddenly last week. Another good friend has a high school buddy who had been beating cancer but it's come back. Still another good friend's friend is fighting for his life in the hospital. To make matters worse, she and her brother lost their dog yesterday. This was their family pet that had been in their lives for over a decade.

Now I'm about to board a plane for NYC. Although I can't wait for the trip, I'd rather not leave my friend when she's sad. And I didn't want to leave my Lucy, but I know she's in good hands.

I don't call my parents often enough or my sister and nieces. I'll try to get better. I love and appreciate my good friends. Showing them and telling them is so important. More important than client deadlines and way more important than my to do list. As a single girl, I realize even more how much they mean to me. Saying I love you is difficult for me, and when I do, I really mean it.

Love to the single girls,
Addison
