Blessed by friendships

Friendships come in all different forms. The friend that you call to go shopping with you. The friend that you call to sign up for a half marathon. The friend that you call to just hang out. They may be all different, or you may just be lucky enough to have all those types wrapped up in one friend.

T, you are our rock. God mother to our children. Friends for over 15 years. Still remember the first day we met in the D. I knew right away, we were going to be long time friends. You are that friend that is up for anything. Do you believe you have ran more than 1 half marathon? That we take off for a month and just adventure? That we matured (well, a bit anyways) from having to call for a wheelchair in Vegas? YOU make life fun. I love you. My family loves you. And I hope that everyone out there, has a Terry Beehler in your life.

Look for the people you want to hang around and that want to hang around you. Friendship shouldn't have to be work. Sit and say nothing and have the best day ever. We've done it. We've done it all. Here's to all the girls out there that just get it and just love life. If is so wonderful and so beautiful when you just get it.

Two kinds of people

There are two kinds of people on earth today.
Just two kinds of people, no more, I say.
Not the good and the bad, for 'tis well understood
that the good are half-bad and the bad are half-good.
No! The two kinds of people on earth I mean
are the people who lift and the people who lean.
There are two types of people on earth today;
just two kinds of people, no more, I say.
Not the sinner and the saint, for it's well understood,
the good are half-bad, and the bad are half-good...
No; the two kinds of people on earth I mean,
are the people who lift, and the people who lean.
Look only for lifters in your inner circle.

...... excerpt from The 21 Irrefutable Laws of Leadership.

For me, my inner circle is easy - Fun loving, family first, faith based, easy going, up for a challenge, motivating, make me laugh, fitness oriented people.

These people enhance my life. Add value to it. Wish me and my family well.
They are the people I choose to be around. You have got to ask yourself ... Does this person add anything to my life? Anything? and if the answer is No ... you need to detach.
