The Past, Present and Inspiration

Tonight, I began thinking about friends, friendship and family.  Past friends, present friends, future friends and family that lasts a lifetime.  How does that quote go?  

"People come into your life for a reason, a season, or a lifetime."

I am sure we all have people who stick out in our minds from each of these situations.  For me, I have friends (and family of course) that are in the lifetime category, friends that are in the reason category (and I know the reason, and in some cases turn into a lifetime),  and others that have (sadly) fallen into the season category.  

Bottom line is, these people have (in some way or another) left a mark on our lives.  Whether it's good or bad, we remember these people for a reason.

I began looking at photos and thought that I would share some of my favorites.  

Love this picture of me and Kandace.  This was taken 4 years ago before we had an interesting night out at the Branding Iron.

Another good one from when John and I had just started dating.  I had so much fun at this Wedding with John and his family.  We will be having a lifetime of memories together.

 

I am so grateful to have childhood friends that I still keep in touch with and look forward to seeing!  These ladies are responsible for so many memories I have as a little girl, and they are great memories!

Oh the camel...these ladies came into my life when I was still learning a lot about...well...LIFE.  Still love them and am thankful for them every day.

Life changing events will happen with your friends, and you can't wait to be there for them.

At the end of the day, whether you are pictured (or mentioned) in this entry or not, but you have been a part of my life, YOU inspire me.  Each and every day.  You inspire me to be who I am.  And I thank each and every one of you for that.
