Friends – new & old/near & far
My husband and I went on our first cruise for our honeymoon 15 years ago. Since than we have done more than a dozen, seeing New England and Canada, the Panama Canal, Alaska, the Caribbean Islands, Bermuda and the Mediterranean. Sometimes we do these trips with family and friends, other times it’s just the two of us. We always make new friends during the cruise, occasionally those friendships last well beyond the cruise.
The last few weeks we were able to take a River Cruise on Ama – the Romantic Danube. It was an amazing week of touring and meeting new people. We connected with several other couples but one in particular that we are already making plans to connect with in the not too distant future. Facebook has been wonderful for making it easier to stay connected. The ‘new friends’ that we also connect with on Facebook, we do manage to keep the friendship alive.
My health challenges, have motivated me to connect with many old friends. Making sure to make time just to be together. But it’s also nice making new friends in new places.
I’ve been fortunate in that my work has taken me all over the world and has allowed me the privilege of making friends in so many countries. As I’ve shared my health challenges over the years the outpouring of prayers and positive energy has been phenomenal. I am certain the depth and breadth of healing energy that has been bestowed upon me has aided tremendously in my healing.
I’ve always believed in the power of prayer. Living the proof of those prayers and positive thoughts touches me so deeply I find it difficult to put it into words. Thank you feels inadequate. I’ve been so incredibly moved by the support from so many in so many ways.
