Who and What Matters

By Karen Best Wright, B.S. Holistic Health & Wellness Educator

There is an email going round with the following:

There comes a point in your life when you realize:  

Who matters,

Who never did,

Who won't anymore...

And who always will.

So, don't worry about people from your past, there's a reason why they didn't make it to your future.

I would like to add to grandparents or anyone who may be experiencing a feeling of loss. People from your past sometimes do creep back into your future. When they do, there is a reason for that too. So whether it is pleasant or not, accept that there is a reason and figure out what you can learn from it.
