"The discipline of gratitude is the explicit effort to acknowledge that all I am and have is given to me as a gift of love, a gift to be celebrated with joy." - Henri J. Nouwen

I am grateful for friends of times past, during other times of our lives. Chris and I met six of them today at a small diner to eat lunch. I realized how much I cared for each one of them and was so appreciative that I could spend time catching up on their past and present. Thank you for all good friends!
