Here it is within the second day since the 2012. I spent much time and left the computer alone as there was not enough time within the day and I had spent much of it with my friend Jim. Jim is married and works within what is known as Corrections Canada. We looked at things within a review in a manner of in our own lives as well as within all that took place during the last year. Ironically for one that used to always call me to have his computer serviced - he has much more going via computer than I have ever seen.
You name it we talked about it. The New Year and the endeavors of which he as well as I have. What I found was that there really is not that much difference. Within goal structures we do have a few things which we intend on doing and other than that here we are within 2012. I think Jim was more tuckered out with all of the things that go hand in hand with his family in a good manner. And the son of a gun went and bought me this gizmo that I have yet to figure out but that can come later as there is something to be said about good friends. Now for the first person of two friends I met waaaay back when I moved into Canada - Jim has been a friend right since Grade 11. There is something to be said for friends that when you have moved so much that you have continued a friendship with. Seemingly when we get started we can’t stop saying either, “remember when …..”added with some things which we just get going and don't stop sometimes if you know what I mean. Yes, we are pretty much like brothers as the duration of our friendship throughout all these years.
Jim was born within these parts he literally seen many places along with his wife. But what amazes me and if ever read this he would kick my behind - is that he always makes that remark, "remember when we did this...” You can't help but have a good time. Which we do but we laugh at things thereafter.
I think when you look at all things which have taken place there is much in which you seek the good and the good seemingly is in what you make it. The New Year came and with cadence I do hope and believe that 2012 shall be a good year.
It’s all within the belief factor...
I love the "remember when" with old friends. sounds like you had a great time with Jim...............! I believe!!!!
ReplyDeleteYeah you! Yeah he is I have known him gosh for so many years Pam.
ReplyDeleteI love thinking about a scene that played out when younger with friends......and everyone has their own take on the scenario, so many years later as to what happened. I just went through that with a girfriend , same scene......different memories completely. still fun to get each others take on it though.
ReplyDeleteOh yeah it's fun and most enjoyable Pam.
ReplyDeleteI believe you are right - a good year coming!!!
ReplyDeleteI do and it was very nice Grammy, nothing overly special but just nice.
ReplyDeleteI'm glad I stopped to read this. The message I got out of this is to believe in friendship. I've been struggling with it for a while...and your story is a testimony to the deep belief I always had......' friends are '
ReplyDeleteThey really are Joyce sometimes within the write it had not come out write within last year but as the saying goes and within these times good friends of the past are worth to be kept. Such is Jim and we have always had that same connect as friends mind you we both have grown but we have always stayed within connection. Friends are - I was hoping he would send something lol my way I kid you not but that's all fine. I found it as one write which follow very well with my last post of Robert Burns Auld Lang Syne just within coincidence actually.
ReplyDeletea blissful and a blessed 2012
ReplyDeleteAnd there very same to you...
ReplyDelete:)
ReplyDeleteA wonderful theme on belief Jack. I have a girlfriend like that and say she's my sister. I think its lots of fun to get together and have some old memories to discuss along with new memories to make for now. Cheers to 2012!
ReplyDeleteThis is great and most of all Happy New Year Cinn.
ReplyDeleteIt's an old adage but a true one I think, Jack. "The only thing to have to fear is fear itself". I was reminded of that when I read this piece. Friendship (especially the older ones) are the relationships that make worry and fear go away when we can get together with an old pal.
ReplyDeleteThanks Jack for reminding me of something good in this new year!
I tend to feel the same yesterday there were a few words which first came out of one that always had questions for me but we are within the Jim and I are within the that mid aged time. Some do get lost in it Doug and some seem to adapt with it rather well. We both have aged but we can certainly still get away with most things that only those whom have been friends for so long can. It's something which is appreciated - his father passed away years ago but it's so ironic as back then I would have loved to see his father and mine talk. Jim's father not only was smart but he was the one main huncho with a corporation called Saskpower. Jim had his time back then but in later years it made for a much wiser Jim.
ReplyDeleteYet I think within the kind of work that Jim does right now - it may have given a greater appreciation to the time afforded and when. He just was moved over to a new area and I kind of think that the stress factor has been high. Meanwhile his wife Sheri, she now is a principal on the Catholic School Board. Yet - that all said there what I have found is we can be kids at the best of times and what I get the biggest kick out of Jim and yet we do have serious talks as well.
That was a great way to start the new year, reminiscing with a long time friend.
ReplyDeleteThat was the last post I had made on here and unfortunately I was within the hospital three times and right now I am within a town to have some respite.
ReplyDeletetake that much needed respites and take it slow please ...
ReplyDeletetight hugs
I have no doubts that I am going to stay here till at least Spring.
ReplyDeleteHugs back .....
