Today's blog goes out to childhood friends. It's a blog of fond memories that exists in each of our heads. It's a blog of fights and yard games, sleepovers and all nighters. Today's blog grew us up whether we wanted to or not. It's a reminder that our children are building the memories that they'll have as adults. It's a reminder that every time we get frustrated with our screaming two year old or thoughtless 15 year old, our reactions should be actions. Actions are purposeful. Reactions are thoughtless. Actions make lemonade out of lemons. Reactions spill the pitcher. Get it? Today's blog has all my friends playing in the mountains, the vineyards, the parks of our childhoods and all of the positive experiences we created together. Despite what may have been happening in some of our imperfect, or even horrible, home lives, we laughed on hillsides as the moon rose, shared french fries at lunch, and enjoyed even the most boring of times together simply because we were together. Thank you all, my friends! I pray that my children find friends as strong, simple, caring, hard working, creative, and crazy as all of you!!
