Make It Meaningful

Highway 40 - Texas 2007

Old friends pass away, new friends appear.  It is just like the days. An old day passes, a new day arrives. The sun rises, the sun sets. The important thing is to make it meaningful; a meaningful friend or a meaningful day!

Meaningful can be defined as having a meaning or purpose in life. Have you ever wondered what your true purpose in life is? Do any of us really know where we're headed in life? A young friend of mine posted this awhile ago, do you know what you wanted to be when you grow up? I responded to the question with, 'no, and still don't know what I want to be when I grow up.'. As a child, I had dreamed of my Prince coming into my life, being married, having, as my friend Cathy said, 12 children and living happily ever after. In reality, does that really happen, I guess if you're beautiful and thin. That wasn't my purpose in life to be a wife, mother or eventually a grandmother. My purpose in life has been just to be me! It's to be the rock my friends think I am. It's to be a sister to my siblings. It's to be an Aunt for my nieces and nephews. It's to be a cousin to my cousins. It's to care for and love Kallie and let her know she's not just a cat. It's to be happy when I don't feel happy and feel like crying. It's to show strength when I don't have it. So, as an old day sets, and a new day arrives I will continue to find my meaning and purpose in life just to be me!
