I was so absorbed in my own life, my passions and responsibilities earlier in my life, that I’m afraid I didn’t always value and nurture friends and relationships as I should have. Now that I’m a senior, retired and managing my own time (and with more free time), I’ve come to realize how very precious and what a gift family and friends are in our lives. I’m one of those people who come to certain realizations late in life unlike those who seem to have been born wise! To have family and a few good friends in one’s life makes life fuller in so many ways. We will always have the things we are passionate about in our lives and our responsibilities – but to have people to love and share your life with, this is the icing on the cake!
