With The Girls

Last weekend four of my longesest standing girlfriends came into St. Louis just to catch up. It was amazing thinking that we all went to high school and college together and we still know each other. We don't just know each other, but we talk to each other on a weekly basis. We live in three different cities and work and are in school and are married and single and we all still make the effort to connect, hang out, stay apart of each others' lives. That is a blessing. It is the smile needed in the midst of sarrow, the sunshine that evaporates the gloom and rare safety that comes with people who know you and love you anyway.
