Friends

Posted by at Jun 28, 2012 6:00 am

I just got home from a college reunion of sorts in NYC. A bunch of the girls I went to college with met up in Manhattan. This past Saturday night, my husband and I went out with my two college roommates and their husbands. These women – all of them – are not people I talk to every day, every week, or even every month. But they are people who, if I see their names pop up when the phone rings, or if I need or want to call them, I know I can count on the fact that not only will they recognize my voice, but the conversation will pick up as if we just talked yesterday. This is special. This is unique. I know it, I value it, and I cherish it. I can’t say that about everyone I come into contact with or am friends with. I hope everyone is lucky enough to have at least one of these type of friends in their lives/their pasts. I also know I share that bond with the women I formed this blog with. It’s special, unique, and unlike college, I hope to never be in the position where I speak to them only on occasion but recognize their voice when I do.

So that’s it for today. Appreciate the people in your life that you know hold a special place in your heart. And if the mood strikes you, let them know. I just did!

    I have those friends. In fact my college friends are the ones I drop everything to help and know they will do the same for me. Very blessed to hove these friends in my life. Also very lucky as we all ended up in the same general area. We are all at most a 30 minute drive from one another.

    I know what you mean and you are lucky to have them. I have a few friends from high school that are like that. We were out of touch (completely my fault) for like 20 years and we recently reconnected and it is really justl ike old times. I am so very very fortunate to have them back in my life and I am not going to let them go again!

    One of my friends I have known for over 50 years. :thumbsup: We have always been there for each other. She is the first one I think to call if there is something to celebrate or shed tears over. We have seen each other through the good & the bad & the in between. We have a history!! Sometimes she is the only person I know will understand. Another friend, former co-worker, I have know for almost 20 years. She is the best, we stay in touch through thick & thin. There are several other good friends that I treasure. I feel blessed in my friends.

    I spent the day with my oldest grandson, he is 23. We went on a hike that took us to a black sand beach, spent time on the beach, walked back to the car then went to lunch. Great day. Sunny, breezy, beautiful, good company. 8)

    It sounds like you had a great time with good friends. Best way to spend time.
