Just back from my college reunion and I had a blast. Meandering around campus, buying things at the bookstore, cheering at the football game, sharing memories at parties – and well, just reconnecting. Friends – new and old – help us stay connected to ourselves. They remind us of who we were, and who we’ve become. They cheer us on, reflect our passions back to us. And they remind us, always, to count our blessings. Each and every one.
