This week I learned about the passing of an old high school buddy. We used to work together, romped around town together, and he even made the trip to my first wedding in Vegas. As time passed and life got underway, the years passed, but we remained connected through a mutual friend who always kept us up-to-date. I visited that sweet friend this weekend, remembering fun times from high school. Hold good memories close, and take comfort in knowing the departed are safe.

Week 7 recap:

• Gratitude for friends and fun memories.

Death hits me as a pause for life, a time for reflection, a time for gratitude, and a reminder to slow down.

Happy Gardening,
