Friendship and Grace

I am reading "Forever in Blue" by Ann Brashares. It's the fourth book of the Traveling Pants series. I know, it's a teen book-I want to work with youth so it's important for me to keep up on these things. The characters in the book give me the desire to reflect on my life. If someone were to write a book about my life, would it be interesting? Would people read it? I was reminded of the mix life brings through out each of our journeys, providing both good times and good stories. I am thankful that God has blessed me with good friends.

When I was in Austria with Krishana, some people were in the square with these signs that read, "Free Hugs", and they were just giving away hugs. What a fun concept. I think we are a bit deprived of affection and community conversation as we busy ourselves with daily living. I have a few friends who are good at living in the moment, being fully present. They are good examples and reminders of how I really want to live my life, now I need to choose it.
