Oh my friend. This essay spoke to me in ways you cannot know. Ok maybe you do ;-) Thank you. I hold on to most everything too long. I have an attic and a crawl space that can attest to that. I beat myself up for not keeping in touch with friends, when no doubt our friendships have run their course. I’ve let my blog become old and stale and virtually dead because I thought I couldn’t let it evolve.

And you’re right that some things endure. I’ve recently added songs that remind me of Adam, my late husband, so my current playlist. I’m able to listen to some of them with little effect other than nostalgia. However “Kite” and “Everything I Own” sent big rollers down my cheeks as I drove to the beach yesterday.

Anyway, thanks as always for figuring out what I need to hear and writing it down. I mean, it’s all about me, right? 😂

Happy Saturday. .

I love this. I have many friends from my past I don't talk to anymore, but still think of them favorably. It's funny how people come into and out of our lives, as if their purpose is to sustain us for a short period of time.
