Friends and such.

Some people come into your life to make no changes and others are in your life to test you, challenge you, and grow you. 

Today was a GREAT day. I was able to spend 6 hours talking about life and old times with a friend of mine who has been living in Paris, France. He is attending Art School and is planning on marrying a beautiful young lady August 2015. Beginning to save now for that trip. 

I met him a number of years ago at college and we have been through some pretty crazy times. Some good, some bad, and others just down right unbelievable. 

We have created art together, shared music, served on the mission field and walked through some difficult times and I could not be happier to still call him my friend. Sadly, he leaves to go back on Tuesday. 

One the subject of friends, I have some really great ones here and a lot closer to me than half way across the world. I probably do not do a good enough job of showing them adequate love or appreciation. 

You will find as you get older, your circle of friends will shrink smaller and smaller. And as that circle gets more intimate, you will find these people will be the ones that matter. When you go through some difficult times, look around, those standing next to you are the ones you want to focus on and rely on. 

So tell your friends you love them. Often. 

So goodnight, good morning or good afternoon to you, depending on when this blog finds you reading it.
