Relationships

My final entry in my son’s query of the three most important things in life was relationships. How we form and maintain our interactions with others determine our level of happiness in our work, play, and study.

At the end of each day, your level of success can be measured by what you have done for and with others. I know this because my relationships are my biggest failures. Every regret I have in life touch on a failed relationship.

There is a happiness that comes from spending quality time with friends and family. These can not be duplicated alone.

As a young adult, I spent a day attempting to snow ski an impossible (for me) section of a mountain in Colorado. I had loads of fun, but it remains a solitary experience. At the time I had no friends to share my moments. The views were mine alone.

Look for others to share your life, thoughts, hopes and dreams with. Friends are important.

Here is today’s beauty.
