The Kindness of Sharing Great Company

"The key is to keep company only with people who uplift you, whose presence calls forth your best."
~Epictetus

Recently, one of my dearest friends gave me a great gift -- his company.  I had been through a rough few days, so I was delighted at the prospect of lunch with him.  For decades, we have laughed together through a myriad of life situations.  And while we have also shared a few tears, laughter is what happens most whenever we are together.  Our adventures together run the gamut from weddings, funerals and other milestone life events to the silliest of outfits, outings and conversations.  But regardless of what we are doing, I am always happy to be with him.  Spending time with him and the inevitable laughter were just what the doctor ordered after a trying few days.
