A Grand Evening

Tonight the girls came over for dinner. It was Grand. We always have such a great time, reminiscing of the past (I make it sound like we're 50 years old!), sharing new stories, teasing each other, encouraging each other and best of all loving each other. The laughter is wonderful, once we start there is no telling when we will stop. We need to do it more often, but unfortunately life seems to pull us all in so many different directions that it is at times impossible for us all to be in the same place at the same time. So you can imagine how much we enjoy each others company when we have the opportunity, it is a gift that I treasure.

I am so thankful, that although so much has changed over the past decade we are still apart of each others lives. We don't always agree with each other, we at times infuriate one another but we still somehow find away to get past it. We are all so different and yet we have such a close bond. Our friendship is not the same as it was in high school but then neither are we as individuals and I would have to say that is a good thing. It is so grand to have friends that allow you to go through your stuff, make your own decisions - good or bad, and continue to love and support you no matter the outcome. Those are true friends.
