The Kindness of Just Being With

"Being fully present is the best guarantee for a bright future."
~ Guy Finley

Our dear friends who had been living on the other side of the world for two years recently came back.  To say that my family are I are thrilled is an understatement.  When I saw my friend for the first time in nearly a year, I kept looking at her in amazement -- it was hard to believe she was there in person.  Before coming back to our city, my friend had spent some time with her sister, and my friend shared how special it was to just be with her sister.  We live in such a fast-paced world with so much coming at us constantly that it is easy to miss the precious gift of just being with those we love.
