Every morning during the week, I wake up and rely upon a very well planned out routine to start off my day; I read my book on the way into downtown, I stop at Starbucks and get my morning coffee, I usually run into co-workers along the way for a chat and when I get into work, I always give myself enough time to check my email, check the paper and read through my favourite blogs. This gives me an opportunity to catch up with some of my favourite people who are too far away for me to catch up with in person.
Lately though, I’ve started to branch out from my usual blogging suspects and have begun reading some different blogs that I don’t usually commit as much time to. I have to admit that there’s some pretty terrible stuff out there in cyberspace but, there’s also some really fantastic blogs that I’ve really enjoyed reading. One of them, forgetful.ca, is by some old friends of ours from when Steve and I just started dating. While time and history has managed to come between us, every now and then, I’ll check in and catch up on where their road has taken them. It’s been beautiful watching the blessings of their life unfold and seeing how we’ve all changed.
When I read about our past friends though, I can’t help but reflect on the different turns that we’ve all taken. It’s certainly unfortunate that fate wasn’t kinder to all of us but, I have to believe everything took the course that they needed to take. All the while though, I’ve loved seeing so many wonderful things happen to them.
Five years ago, we were all in our twenties, dating and working and meeting up for beers. Now, we’ve experienced marriage, children, new homes, new jobs and so many other things. It makes me wonder what kind of friends we would have been had we met at this point in our lives instead of five years ago. Unanswered questions aside though, their blog is great! Shannen does most of the contributing but, she does it well and her pictures are fabulous! It’s so great that it might even become part of my regular morning routine if I can get over the feeling that I might be an “unwanted lurker”!!
Also, they have a friend living in Bermuda whose blog is HYSTERICAL!!! I don’t know who this girl is but, I often find myself laughing out loud at her humour!! I always have to be careful though not to succumb to the temptation of reading it while at work…because once I start, an hour easily goes by getting caught up on the latest happenings of her life.
I just love cyberspace!
