There isn’t a day that goes by that I don’t have a moment or
two of gratitude for the people in my life and everything I learn from them.
Whether it’s a hug from my husband, or him coming to tell a funny or
interesting story midday, a tip from a neighbor about growing a particular
plant as she walks an offering from her garden across the street to me,
something pertinent someone in my life has said in the past popping up in the
present, or a quick catch up with someone I haven’t seen in awhile, I feel
genuinely blessed for the richness that good relationships afford.

It isn’t just that healthy relationships fortify us, both
the giving and receiving, though that is certainly wonderful, too. It’s that we
teach each other and learn and grow together. It’s the coming to terms with all
the aspects of life…
