Old Friends

There is nothing like hanging out with old friends and last night I was fortunate enough to do just that.  There is something so easy and comforting about enjoying the company of friends that have known you (and you them) for many years.  As I read somewhere recently, "it is not about the accomplishments you have achieved in your life, but it is about the relationships you have developed."

It really got me thinking about the clarity of that statement and how we easily get caught up in chasing accomplishments.  For some reason that statement resonated with me and has been swirling around in my head the last couple of days.  Those simple one liner statements are great because they are ummm well simple but yet we have a tendency to over-complicate and then soon enough we are off on a tangent chasing our tails in circles because we have lost sight of the forest for the trees.

and another keeper:
"Life is not a dress rehearsal" - We get one chance through all this craziness so we should make it count - no need to weight ourselves down with toxic people, etc...

OK OK, enough of the deep thoughts....for the time being, it is off to go chase some work accomplishments.....
