It's a time of change for me, too. Connections are forming, and I am finding they are rich and rewarding. New friends at NHS, new friends in my book club in my new neighborhood in South Carolina. I think I appreciate these relationships even more now than I did as a younger woman. Thanks for prompting me to reflect and be grateful.
