When my daughters were Brownies, they used to sing a song that went “make new friends, but keep the old – one is silver and the other gold.” What a beautiful – and true – sentiment, which helps explain why I try to remain touch with my old friends from university.
But of course at this age, ‘old’ friends takes on new meaning! My friend and former classmate, Bill, celebrated his birthday over the weekend, and I gave him a card congratulating him on turning 100. And I’m catching up quickly!
It was a great time spent with great people (and maybe you’ll recognize his son in the lower picture!). So, Happy Birthday, Bill, and cheers to old friends!
And please, if you enjoy this reading my posts, I’d love an early birthday gift myself – your vote at the Canadian Blog Awards. Voting is simple – you don’t have to register or log-in, you just have to visit this link, and at the bottom of the left-hand column, you’ll see a category called ‘Best Business or Professional Life Blog.’ Expand that, and you’ll find humble little Jerry by the Sea!
SO finally a poll where we can vote for you 3X like you needed last time?
LOL, hey, I’m not endorsing extra votes!
great words of wisdom Jerry. Love your site and wishing Bill the best.
Thank you so much – I’ll pass it along
