Losing family members this year was sad and heartbreaking. It seems that you really cannot stop time or slow it down but you just have to be glad you get up every morning and be the best person you can be. Each day brings us one step closer to the end of our journey and yet we never know when that will be. Funny how that does not stop us from some of the things we do.
Friends, wow I could write a book on this subject but they are apart of the journey and while it is good to have them sometimes you learn some cruel lessons from them. On another side you also find that their loyalty is something that can be fickle which always surprises me. But as I said I could write a book on that it would be more of a lessons learned book. But friends can be the greatest asset on your path. They are there to make it easier when it does not seem to be. My lessons from this year that I am taking onto the next year are ones that deal with how I will choose my friends to continue on my journey. And what did I learn that affected this path was the mere fact that not all friends are what they seem.
I have to say I did make some great new people this year that I am glad to have met. They are people from long ago that I knew and now have begun talking to again. Not all those that I have left on past paths are back just some that I feel comfortable talking with.
