Friends

Saturday was my actual birthday, but being the brat-only child-that I am, I stretched it out all week. Friday I met some girlfriends in Fredricksburg for a scrapbooking weekend retreat. It was so wonderful to not worry about work or anything else for that matter. We laughed till we cried and almost tinkled in our panties, we ate so much wonderful food but most of all we reconnected as friends. Friends I miss a lot when I don't get to spend time or talk with them. It's maddening how we can let life get in the way of our friendships. We say we'll call them tomorrow and never do or we'll get together but schedules never jive. This weekend made me realize what truly fun, inspiring, helpful, loving and considerate friends I have. Friends I know I'll have a lifetime.
