"You just reminded me of what's really important in life, friends, and best friends." - Fried Green Tomatoes
Yesterday, as you know I wasn’t feeling like myself. I was dragging because of the cold thing and just dealing with some other annoying issues. What I thought would be a bad day turned out to be a really great day. My friends pulled me up and out of any mood I may have been in. I was given get well gifts. The gifs came in the form of tough conversation, a walk and a bite of a waffle. In the form of laughter that always feels like a hug from “D”. In the form of hearing from an old love now friend who always makes me feel at least ten years younger. It came from “J” and “M” listening and laughing at the absurd events. All of these things made me realize how important it is to have friends not matter how they get into your life or how much of your life they actually share; they all contribute to who I am.
I have a lot of friends that are scattered across the country and world for that matter. I told “G” last night that next year when I’m the big “5-0”, I wanted to start visiting all of them. I want to share some real face time with the people that mean so much to me but I never see. I also want to make more time for the people that are closer. This past summer I spent a few days with my brother and it was incredible. We laughed, ate too much and just did nothing and everything. That is exactly the experience I want to share. A friend said that we could be like Thelma and Louise without the ending…LOL. I love that! I want to be reckless, fearless and draw all of my friends in on my 50 year adventure. Wanna come????
