Ok…so I get my favorite film and load it up in my favorite camera. I have a party with all my favorite people and can’t wait to take some great candid outdoor shots.
My batteries are dead. Dead. The first thing I learned in that photography class many years ago: always have a spare set of batteries.
Oops. No pictures.

A good friend knows just the right thing to say or do to put a smile on your face. I have made a small list of SPECIFIC things I can do to strengthen my friendships. An example of something on my list is “Go see my cousin’s band play.”
Mostly though, I know it is an ongoing process. I’m a good friend in that I remember special things about people and their preferences. However, I need to talk less and listen more.
Again, an ongoing process, but maybe I can check it off within the next few months here.

I actually took 3 years of piano when I was a kid and took a little refresher course in college. I can read music, but it takes me some time to really pull a piece together. I knew a lady once who played improv big band showtunes. How incredible! I want to do that!
The only issue right now is that my piano is in storage and will be for the forseeable future. At least I have my keyboards.
