My best friend Maggie Dull
As we age, best friends continue to hold their special place in our lives. As children our best friend may have changed daily, but best friends from our teen years remain solid. Even though we may have little else in common today, our “best friend” relationship continues to unite us. Maggie, my best friend from High School, and I plan to spend the reunion time together.
Maggie was the Chief of Police’s daughter and I was the Methodist minister’s daughter – so together we could do no wrong. Heaven knows we tried! We wanted to be bad, but when we did do something stupid like knock the head off a snowman our guilt drove us to rebuild it almost before the head hit the ground. Now, 50 years later we still laugh just at the joy of being together.
Contact your old “best friends” today and renew your relationship if you haven’t already done so. Friends are precious at every age!

Do you sometimes look into the mirror and feel unloved?
Try this. Look through and beyond.
It is very easy for us to forget as we look into the mirror that if the glass we look into had no silver in it, then we would be looking not into a mirror at ourselves but through a window at others. – And we just might realize how well off we are and how desperately the rest of the world needs our love.
A fear of committing ourselves, of taking a step beyond our own comfort zone, often holds us back from offering to others the kind of uncompromising love exemplified by a newborn. And it is in offering our love that we receive love.
A happy way to experience age-esteem is to
- look beyond yourself to the needs of others,
- stretch out of your comfort zone and
- find a way to share your talents and love with those less fortunate.
