Thoughts from Your Host…

It’s probably no surprise that the beginning of June is coil of memories for me. There have been travels, new jobs, wonderful experiences, food, drink, laughter along with both tangible and intangible gifts.

For much of my life, this week has been about my friends.

It wasn’t always this way – not really. When I was a boy, the kids I knew didn’t really celebrate with me. When they did, they even used it as a way to make fun of me later. It didn’t take long though for me to find people who cared – who loved. Who in their kindness and generosity made me a kinder and more generous person. Soon, gathering them together became what this week was all about.

To this end, I am grateful for my friend that has joined me today to talk about an old movie we love, and for you, my friends, for stopping by and listening.

I do understand that in the course of time, life will slowly start to make this a harder and harder week…but this year, it finds me in a good place. For that, I am also grateful.

Thank you for your time – here’s to life!
