I had a friend pass along a story today. Of how his mother told of how her riches were collecting friends. That relationships were the only thing we take from this world with us when we pass other than our soul. The richest part of living is the sharing of ourselves with others. The best part of life is feeling rich... and that does not mean money in the bank, a mercedes in the driveway, or the biggest house on the block.
I was so amazed to hear this, as it is exactly what I beleive in!! Sometimes I think we need to be reminded of the things we have in our heart. We let them get pushed back into the sidelines and have to move them to the forefront to make them part of our every day living.
I so much believe we are what we surround ourselves with! I am reminded every day that I am blessed by the wonderful people in my life. I want only to continue to share my life with those who share theirselves honestly and with a sincerity. I believe we are here to a support to each other, and I am made rich by the relationships I have with people. The soulmate I share my life's adventures with... Amazing! My children who love and accept me as I am... The people who share my hopes and dreams for things that are important to my soulmate & I...
To those of you who know how to focus on the good things of life, to encourage when the times are not at 100%, those who are not afraid to call or message and share when you need help, or return the favor when you know it is needed, I say Thank You!! For being part of the riches of my life!!
In 2010, I want to only become richer, and help others understand that fulfillment!
Peace to you all
