Celebrating the Kindness of Friendship on Valentines' Day

"If you have only one smile in you, give it to the people you love."
― Maya Angelou

We always think of Valentines' Day as a romantic holiday, but this year, I am celebrating the blessing of love in my life -- the romantic kind and then all the rest of it.

This week, I have reveled in the kindness of friends ― just the joy of being with those who make me laugh, those in whom I can confide and those who seem to love even the quirkiness in me.

Yesterday, I  had lunch with a very good friend of mine, the quintessential move-a-body friend.  After lunch, we sat outside and ate yogurt.  It was one of those gorgeous blue-sky days with pleasant weather.  We laughed and remarked how much we were enjoying just doing what we were doing.  Ah, the kindness and magic  of friendship.
