update...

lots of photos to share, but don't have the patience today. It has been a busy couple of weeks around here. I went on the annual Tennessee Stampers Stamping Retreat, then Friday night we had the annual St. Jude Auction. So I have been packing, unpacking, making baskets, shrink wrapping and more. And feeling very odd at a Chili's function, when we no longer "belong". Very odd...

Also I had an allergic reaction to some meds and didn't have the MOST fun Saturday night the weekend of the TS retreat. I am feeling better now, but not all back to normal. Amazing how you can take a drug for only a week, but it takes longer than that to get out of your system. OH well.....

Remember to cherish your friends, and even though it seems hard to find the time sometimes, ALWAYS remember that you have to give to get. You have to be there for your friends, if you want them to be there for you. And remember that sometimes we don't all know we need that support, so be aware of your friends and their changing lives, and that they might need you even when it isn't convenient. Yes it takes effort to be a friend, but it should be welcomed effort because of what that person means to you. Life is so fleeting and we need to remember to tell the ones who love us, and those we love how much they mean to us.
