Tell me who your friends are...

Have you heard of the old cliche which goes "Tell me who your friends are and I'll tell you who you are"? ..

I have proven this to be true once more. Why? Well, I have been fortunate to be part of a task force to complete a long-overdue project. The place happens in our socio-religous group I belong to.

Often, I have observed that things get done by tapping on this inner circle of friends or going with the unbreakable close-knit ties of friends. It worked!

The best part are the indelible memories which made our journey as leaders and friends all the more memorable. This experience reminded me of a favorite quote...


===========================================
First, I was dying to finish my high school and start college.
And then I was dying to finish college and start working.
Then I was dying to marry and have children.
And then I was dying for my children to grow old enough so I could go back to work.
But then i was dying to retire.
And now I’m dying …. and suddenly I realized I forgot to live.

I guess I have aleady made past his counting. Well, thus far I have amassed 7 (2 couples + my wife and kids!!!). Good enough!

Of course...I am my friends!
