Rainy Friday Evening

Yesterday Little Prince and I packed his batman back pack and headed off on a nice 1 hour drive to meet up with the girls for dinner. It was the perfect rainy evening. 4 ladies and a tot sharing a booth at Applebees. As I was sitting there with these women who I adore and my sweet baby admiring the crayons, and little toys, and the laughter at our table I was overjoyed. It is an amazing thing to get 4 women together all at different, yet similar stages in life, who can be happy, supportive, and uplifting towards one another. Though I haven't seen two of the three in months and the other in probably at least a year we sat at that table and none of us missed a beat. Last night I saw true friendship at its finest, and the best part.... My little guy got to see it.

Women often forget to be a friend in a real friendship, no jealousy, no tearing each other down, no one going behind the others back and causing harm. On the ride home I promised myself to make last night's event regular, even if it is once a month. You need those friendships in your life and you need to put the effort in to keep them. Friendship is so good for the soul. Seeing my friends start new chapters is good for the soul. Them supporting my new adventures are good for the soul.
How many of you have been re connecting, and or maintaining childhood freindships over the years?
