Live moments...with who you can...while you can...

Weekends...we look so forward to them and then ZAP! Before we know it they are gone and Monday comes - way too soon!
This weekend my friends, Bruce and Gail, came to spend some time with me in Nashville. I met these two wonderful people when they were passing through Nashville months ago and a friend wanted us to meet. Thinking it would be a five-minute introduction we agreed to say Hello!
There was an instant connection.
Last Thursday I answered the phone and Bruce was on the other end.
"Sandy, what are you doing this weekend?"
Ah, music to my ears!
So Bruce and Gail spent the weekend at my house.
It was sharing, laughter and eating together. It was bonding in its purest form. It was adding other people to our circle...and laughing and loving them too.
It does not always work out that you get along with both people in a couple, but this was a friendship made in heaven. There is a feeling of mutual admiration, love and fun. To add to the mix they introduced me to their wonderful friend, Robin, and we all felt an instant kinship. To add to the fun Robin and I talked fast and a lot, and at times rivaled the best comedy routines in the comedy clubs.
Gail and I sat on my bed until 2:00 in the morning, growing closer as only 'real' sisters can. When she retreated to bed we were 'pinky swearing' that we would keep in our hearts all that we had shared.
A month ago I met a young man that is a son of a speaker I know. He stayed at my house the night before a flight out of Nashville (he is from Mississippi), and he was in Nashville again this weekend and stopped in and slept in his old bedroom.
Lauren - my charming daughter - came over and added to the house busting at the seams with fun, love and laughter.
Moments - that's all we have...yet we let time pass and forget to savor the moments!
Whoever you are with - cherish them - every touch, each look that is passed between you, every chuckle...tuck this all in your heart!
While you are still able - enjoy the moment, laugh and love - all that you can with everyone you can!
