Friends have ability to see you as you are and extract the good that sometimes goes unnoticed in the pulls of everyday life. The encouragement of a relived memory or a rehearsal of a funny moment lift the soul and revive the spirit.

When I first wrote this in 2008, it was while I was away for a beach retreat with a group of good friends. At their encouragement, I started a blog in the humblest of beginnings. My first official blog was only the two sentences you see above. I did not even publish the blog at the time, but this moment with these people produced a seed which grew within me until nearly 6 years later when, after multiple revisions of a name, content, and format I actually published the blog. Thank you to my friends Leslie & Trisha (pictured) and to the others who were there that weekend for your encouragment and support to me over the years. Thank you most of all to my husband, Steve, who is my biggest encouarager and supporter. I am grateful I did not despise the day of small beginnings.
