Friday I am having a shredding service come and get rid of the endless amount of papers that no longer need to be kept. In sorting through these papers a flood of memories spilled out and it was like watching an overview of my life. Names and faces popped out and for hours I felt the presence of so many people that had been part of my journey. Many were crossroad friends who entered at a period and then were gone. In essence though I realized while sorting that they were not gone and are still resident in me. It was much to my amazement a joy and not a chore to go through years of papers .It reminded me how much friendship and love have enriched my life.
