Tomorrow is another milestone bd and today I'm reflecting on things that I've done and have not done, things I've won and lost. In 1965, The Beatles recorded a song called "In My Life", and this first verse rings true with every passing day:

"There are places I remember
All my life though some have changed
Some forever not for better
Some have gone and some remain
All these places have their moments
With lovers and friends I still can recall
Some are dead and some are living
In my life I've loved them all"

I've found that people will come and go as your life goes on. You'll learn from each of them..some good, some bad. Some have been with you from Day One, others leave at the first opportunity, and both groups know where they fit in. There are good days where you smile and laugh among family and friends then there are the bad days where you're alone and the tears flow.

"But of all these friends and lovers
There is no one compares with you
And these memories lose their meaning
When I think of love as something new
Though I know I'll never lose affection
For people and things that went before
I know I'll often stop and think about them
In my life I love you more"

Lots of people that have been longtime friends of mine have quoted this song in posts over the years and like me, the words have great meaning to them. John Lennon wrote the song after he was sitting back one day reflecting on his life, not knowing how his words would impact generations to come. The last verse of "In My Life"..

"Though I know I'll never lose affection
For people and things that went before
I know I'll often stop and think about them
In my life I love you more"

To those that have been with me over my life, thank you. To those that I haven't known that long, thanks to you too. To those that are no longer with us, I love and miss you. To those that walked away, goodbye and I wish you well.
