Beautiful Friendship

There is something wonderful about a friendship that seemlessly falls into place whenever you are together. This week, I went to visit my girlfriend at her lake home. (I cannot call it a cabin- as it is a magnificent home.) As we sat on the deck after putting my kids to sleep on Tuesday evening, the sunset was brilliant and the conversation absolutely free. Sometimes the most refreshing friendships are the ones where it is never difficult to discuss life freely. It has always been this way with her. Both of us share openly and it is somehow easy to simply be together and enjoy the moments as the night slips slowly by us. Soon, it is midnight and we are both feeling the weight of our own exhaustion.
It was such a gift to be with her over the last couple of days and we vowed to keep up more than we have in the past year or so. How wonderful to have a friend that you might not see or talk to often, but with whom you can enjoy relaxation and comforting conversation without reservation. It is with these friends that you find yourself picking up where you left off, as if the months and years were only a blip on the screen of life.
I'm blessed.
