Life's about change

A decade, or so, back there was a country song from a female artist all about life's changes. It is a song I think of often as our lives change for one reason or another. This week the change is coming from friends moving.

We've had several friends move from the area and we mostly say we'll keep in touch. We don't. Life is complicated. Life is always changing and it makes it difficult to keep in touch, even if we really have the desire.

And to make the change more significant...they are moving to Texas. It is not like we can drop by on our way to anywhere. Texas.

I know our girls will keep in touch. I know this because they already email each other several times a day, on a good day. They also keep up with friends, via email, in Oklahoma (I think it is Oklahoma...right Courtney?). But finding time to chat between adults. Well, maybe it is just me. Between always being behind with my end of the school work (creating test, grading papers, etc.), taekwondo, trying to keep a clean house (I really want to give that one up because it doesn't stay very long), and everything else I'm juggling right now I can't seem to keep up with others. Not even when they are right here in town.

I want this change to be good for our friends, but I will miss them. All of them...even Riley.  ;-)
