Today I spent time with my best friend A.  It’s been a while but she has to find a new j-o-b, so we were going to work on her resume.  But first we ate, we sat outside in the sunshine and we relaxed.  We chatted comfortably about many things, as we always do.  It’s what I call real quality time.

Then we got to work.  As we did, we acknowledged the passage of time, the places we’d worked, some together, most not – years of working, all things we’ve done in our lives that are part of who we are now.  We are not old, but we are no longer young. We have earned the right to pat each other on the back and say, so far, so good…and it ain’t over yet.

Good on us that we are not afraid (if a little apprehensive) to be starting something new today.  Good on you, if you are like that too.

P.S. I am participating in the Ultimate Blog Challenge this month – a blog a day if I can.
