Reflection

Tonight is another crazy night for weather, there was a huge but short lived thunder and lightning storm, torrential downpour of rain and now there are gale winds blowing.  Only in the Maritimes and only on the coast. It leaves one with a feeling of what next!

However  I was sitting here thinking about why I started a blog and I started one because I have always loved to write but it seemed to have fallen to the wayside in the busy highway of life so I thought what a great way to express myself and force myself to organize my thoughts in a legible manner.  It is a lot of fun but it also makes me stop and think about my life and past experiences.

A friend who I haven't talked to in quite awhile sent me a note today expressing how much she enjoyed my blogging attempts. :)  She also reminded me of how we met and that it was upwards from there which sounds like something out of novel but we did meet early one very cold winter's morning when she and her girls knocked on my door asking if they could come in and warm up until the school bus arrived.  They had just recently moved into the neighbourhood and did not have the school bus schedule and pickup times down pat so needless to say I invited them in and offered for the girls to come to the house any morning they wished.  From there a friendship blossomed that was rich in laughter, tears, and wonderful memories for us and our children.  After time my friend found a wonderful man who became part of their family and I moved back to my roots on the Eastern Shore but the memories will always forge a connection and closeness and the rare times we do see each other I treasure.  Sometimes we are handed gifts of friendship in very unusual ways and we need to allow ourselves to be open to them and I have been very fortunate in my friends whom I will chat about here and there throughout my blogging.  I call them my "Heart Sisters" because they are not of my blood but of my heart.  Well that thought made me all weepy and sentimental, I think it's time for a cup of tea and read a chapter or two in one of my steamy romance books as my daughter calls them.  LOL  I can't help it I love them, I confess I'm truly a romance junkie.
