“Nobody sees a flower really; it is so small. We haven't time, and to see takes time, like to have a friend takes time."   

Geogia O’Keefe’s words may remind you of the importance of friendships and how for many in our fast paced lives sadly friendships are put on the back burner, making them not a high priority.  Although unquestionably you do “care about” your friends, you simply have no time, no energy to give them.

I have to confess. As I move along in age, I am much more impatient and get annoyed more easily than in my younger years. Often these petty annoyances make no sense, even to me.  As an example, I find myself irritated when I hear the universal, socially- acceptable greeting, those three little words, “How are you?”
