Coffee with Friends

Most days I stop at the Starbucks on the way to work because the drive is about 30 minutes from the hotel. I stop there because I have coffee with friends when I do. Well, I am still using a gift card given me by friends. When I order the coffee, give the gift card, and accept the coffee I think of those friends. I miss them because keeping friends is an important element in life. Having been career military I learned how to let go of friends and make new ones on the short term. Now I feel like I've missed something. So, all you friends out there, I think of you often -- especially when I drink that great coffee. Maybe there is something important here. Whether it is "FaceBook" or "My Space" technology has given us a way to stay connected like never before. Stay connected. And, hey, a phone call would be cool once in awhile, I'm sure those friends would like to hear your voice not only read your notes. Just a little friendly advice. Oh, send me your phone number and we can actually hear one another's voices. Oh, man, the memories of friends are flooding back. Dr. D.

  1. Hey there, friend ...

    Thanks for the reminder to check-in every now and then. Life gets so hectic that I often forget to do the simple things in life.

    I'm laying in bed with some sort of "funk" at the moment. My wife says it's bronchitis, but I'm not totally convinced. I've slept a great deal this weekend and am feeling a bit better, but the nagging cough is hurting my throat and I'm getting ready to take another nap.

    Thanks for keeping the blog going and the posts going. I'll remind Kim to touch base. We talk about you often, and it's all good things.

    Peace,
    Larry
