Seasoned Traveler

"When people come into your life for a SEASON,
It is because your turn has come to share, to grow, or to learn.
They may bring you an experience of peace or make you laugh.
They may teach you something you have never known, or help you do something you have never done.
They usually give you an unbelievable amount of joy."
(P.S. I didn't write the above saying. It got circulated in the last week on another site!)
THIS IS OUR SEASON FOR BETTERPHOTO
Thank You For All You Have Added To My Life!
I hope we are all members for a long time!
-Laura

well done! #9922673Ann Coates January 16, 2012
I think all of us at BP can relate to this. A very thoughtful piece of creativity here Laura. #9922682Laura E. Swan January 16, 2012
Thank you Tiia! :))*
Hi Ann! I have just been thinking about all the folks I have met because of BP. How most of us live so far apart yet it doesnt feel that way when we meet at our keyboards! It's amazing to me how much more rich and full my life has become because of all of you. Some have come. Some have gone, but none will ever be forgotten. Each has a special place in my heart for different reasons...
When I lost my Mother many years ago I realised how important it was to not miss opportunities to say good things to each other while we can. True things. And say we are sorry if there is a need to there.
"Carpe Diem" Seize the Day! :)
