The Joy of Relationships

I am now in Muncie and my calendar is getting booked solid in an effort to get in some quality time with friends!  More than anything, this furlough has been a reminder of how important relationships are in life.  To share with one another our dreams, sorrows, accomplishments and fears...to listen and to be heard.  A cup of coffee, a good meal, lots of laughter and words of encouragement.  My life is abundantly blessed by some amazing people who share their lives with me.  How often I say that "there are no strangers...just friends I have not met yet".  How true that is...for in life we all have something to offer.  And by giving ourselves away, we find that we are the ones blessed.  Although not everyone is reflected, here are some of the amazing people I have had the privilege of spending time with over the past two months.  And in my time remaining...many more photos to add!  Click here to see photo album!
