Friends Are True Wealth

A Message from the Heart.


     I recently traveled back east to visit some very dear friends.  When I returned, I found the above message from my husband.  Like many people, we are keeping a sharp eye on our budget. Yet, we decided that going to see my friends was worthy of cuts elsewhere. The return on my trip was immeasurable.
      I did not sight see.  I visited.  I sat and drank warm beverages and chatted. I ate and I slept. I was refreshed by the company of those I know well.  There is a deep peace in being accepted and understood; this is often found in the company of dear friends.  New clothes, phones, jewelry and "stuff" will eventually break or go out of style. Memories of my trip continue to delight me and the connections with my friends will never go out of style.  As Plautus noted: "Where there are friends, there is wealth."
