“I cannot even imagine where I would be
today were it not for that handful of friends who have given me a heart full of
joy. Let’s face it, friends make life a
lot more fun.”
~ Charles R. Swindoll
I recently
had a special event at my old high school.
And I guess not just high school because I went to elementary school
there, too. It was a special day and I
was completely overwhelmed by the kindness of friends –from all different parts
of my life – who showed up. My oldest
friend – a girl whom I have known since we were in 1st Grade
together – drove over from the other side of the state. Another member of our middle school gang flew
in from another city. One girl (and yes
we may be past the age to call them that, but that’s what they are to me) was
finishing a salsa class when another friend told her about it and she drove
over. It was such a treat to have not
only my family, but also such dear friends join me. My heart was truly filled with joy. And I was reminded again of how much showing up matters.
