SAVOR EACH MOMENT
,
The first day of retirement began with coffee in a delicate bone china cup carrying the image of a Hummingbird. I couldn't start this new journey in a more meaningful way. This cup was a parting gift from a beloved co-worker and friend. And it symbolizes so many things. The Hummingbird is a symbol of love, joy and beauty. This delicate creature can fly backwards, teaching us that we can look back on our past but we must not dwell on it. We need to move forward. When a Hummingbird hovers over a flower, we learn that we should savor each moment and appreciate all the things we love.
How fortunate I am to have a friend who things so highly of me and who treasures my friendship as I do hers. I read somewhere that we should not let people "run through our lives in a blur - but take the time to see them, really see them." So here's to my friend who really saw me and loves me in spite of my imperfections. This day, and this cup of coffee, are for you.
