Maude mapped the way to the way I see life. <br /><br />Your last statement in this post rings true to me. Each day I wake up I think about this exact statement and what it means to me and to others. All my life I have just been getting by with shelter, food to eat and good friends. I really do believe...like you do...that this is all that matters! <br /><br />Everyone I know that make money matter too much never find the time of day to sit, relax and make &quot;connections&quot;. I have decided in these last few years to let go of those who have to schedule me in at a certain time, on a certain day, to have specific conversations, with a specific place in mind, wearing specific clothes, being around specific people and never sharing a &quot;real&quot; conversation or just sitting and enjoying a bouquet of flowers or a blue sky. The &quot;friends&quot; that I will let go of won&#39;t notice I&#39;m gone because what we had was even less than &quot;superficial&quot;. These &quot;fair weather&quot; friends never made a &quot;connection&quot; with me. <br /><br />Thank you for this post.<br />This was a wonderful accident!<br /><br />In case you are wondering:<br /><br />I&#39;m from a small town called Bowmanville, Ontario, Canada. I now reside in Toronto, Ontario. <br /><br />My name is Randy.Randyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15284874420776121130noreply@blogger.com
