what matters most

i'm gonna echo my fellow bloggers' sentiments of these past few days. this weekend has been a great one. i got to witness and enjoy one of my dearest friend's wedding. friendships were rekindled and strengthened, laughs were shared, stories told and memories made. short but precious time was spent together. good times were had.

as i age and experience this solitary and reflective stage of my life, i am convinced that relationships are what matter most. sure the boat, the beautiful house, the fun cars, clothes, shoes, botox (never had it), lipo (want it), and boobs (check) are nice to have but they rot, break, tear, wear, and sag. those things don't last but relationships can and do. forever even.

and what's even better? relationships with those we love and trust are what get us through the toughest of tough times and make the joyous of life's experiences complete and utter euphoria. no matter what stage of life we are in, we can strengthen and lift one another, comfort and soothe one another, and my personal favorite, laugh with one another. i hope i can spend the rest of my days remembering to nurture the relationships i currently have along with the ones that will develop.
