Welcome back my friend COL Mikel J. Burroughs. I trust the work on your house was satisfactory.
Relationship defines humanity at the individual level as well as corporate.
I am especially thankful for my darling wife, my parents and her parents and our sons.
I am eternally grateful for the personal relationship I have with God based on my realization that I need salvation which is freely offered by the Christ.

Every day should be blessed with great relationships IMHO.

I appreciate the quotes you shared:
1. Anais Nin is poignant "Each friend represents a world in us, a world possibly not born until they arrive, and it is only by this meeting that a new world is born." —
2. Psychologist Carl Jung demonstrates his materialistic world-view "The meeting of two personalities is like the contact of two chemical substances: if there is any reaction, both are transformed." —
3. Epicurus of the Epicureans was a wise philosopher "You don’t develop courage by being happy in your relationships everyday. You develop it by surviving difficult times and challenging adversity."
4. Philosopher Albert Camus is enigmatic in his statement "Don’t walk in front of me; I may not follow. Don’t walk behind me; I may not lead. Just walk beside me and be my friend." Certainly friendship is important but there are times when we are led by or lead our friends.
5. Wm. Paul Young demonstrates wisdom in his statement "Trust is the fruit on a relationship in which you know you are loved."

Opposites balance each other out. Just wrote a paper on exactly that. Myers Briggs week. Had my wife take hers and she is my opposite in many things. We have learned to balance out differences and these things make us stronger. Team Hogan. Welcome back Col. Great way to go into the weekend.
