This is where I started my day. It is the view from one of my dear friend’s backyard. Every so often we get together for one hour (yes, exactly one hour) on a Wednesday. By keeping our time to one hour our schedules allow us to get together more often. It also makes us dive right into meaningful conversation. Within 5 minutes of sitting down with our coffee I had written down several of her quotes that I will mull over later. Good stuff.

Yep, I often take notes when meeting with friends. I don’t want to forget the inspiring things they say. Plus I want to always have a record of our time together. It’s easy for life to become a blur. Journals and pictures are two ways of recording and remembering special and everyday moments in my life that mean so much to me.

I’m so glad I took an hour to be with my dear friend this morning. I’m always blessed and inspired by her. Plus we made one more precious memory.
