time flies

Lookie lookie, Lisa and Erich found their way to Virginia. Hurray! They made a pit-stop at Matt and Debbie's house, accompanied us to Bell Isle and went on their way to the Appalachian Mountains.




Lisa and I had a deep conversation on "life". We like to do that--talk "deep". Anyway, we realized how fast time seemed to fly. Has it really been 10 years since high school? 7 since the MTC?  2 Since college?  1 since Elena's birth?   Are we... grown-ups? Ahhh! Our one life on earth is flying! A unique time in its eternal spectrum. Unique!  And it will pass us by before we know it!  Which made me think:

Am I swiftly just living my life, or am I living my life abundantly?!
I guess that's a choice each of us can make.

...There is within each of us a divine spark of greatness. Who knows of what we are capable if we only try? The abundant life is within our reach if only we will drink deeply of living water, fill our hearts with love, and create of our lives a masterpiece. -The Abundant Life.

Genny,
Did you ever think yourself that how "interesting person" you are?

You always attract friends and people like to be around you because you are creative and curious!

That is very good thing!

Да, Дженни - замечательный человек, я свидетельствую об этом! :-) Я оченьрада, что у вас была возможность собраться вместе и вспомнить, что было ДАВНО! Но я также знаю, что самое лучшее еще впереди. Мы такие ста... взрослые :-) и можем получать от этого огромную радость. Если ты еще увидишь сестру Бардо и старейшину Вайдманна, передавай им привет! Я хоть и ста... взрослая, но я их еще помню. Интересно, если бы вы говорили на русском, вам было бы легко? ;-)
