Friends are the family you choose. True friends are the ones who lift you up just by being there. Who understand you and don't care if you are in your pajamas with frizzy hair drinking coffee or wine or dressed up out for a night on the town. Happy or sad, chatty or quiet. I am lucky enough to have many of these kind of friends. And I was lucky enough to have hung out with some of them recently. Few things are as recharging as a night with friends laughing and catching up. I needed it. I didn't realize how much. I was scared I wouldn't make it, because that's always a risk for something planned in advance with my health, but the universe was smiling at me and I made it to our mom's night several nights ago.
This is a success story post and a reminder that bad weeks, bad days, even bad months can fade away when laughing with a friend. There's always a moment that will make you remember what life is about and how simple that can be. If you feel sick or nervous or tired or scared it seems far away when sitting with a friend catching up and telling "me too!" stories.
So with a huge contented sigh I went tobed that night. Yes in pain and exhausted. I mean it's not a miracle cure 😂 But with a big smile in my heart thanks to some special ladies who lift the spirit just by being them and remind me of my motto - simple pleasures can be found anywhere and are what life is about. Don't take them for granted.
