Yes Aug 1st; and on that day ... someone that I miss will turn a year older.      They may never know it but I will mark their birthday.     I will also mark the birthday of another friend that does still participate in my life from time to time.      And that is the point that I want you to take from this.     Remember the people that you have lost, misplaced and let go of .... but cherish those friends that opt to stand true.   

Be Well,   Be Happy  .... and if you can, try to leave it better than you found it.
