What a week! For the past five days, I was fortunate to talk to, see, and enjoy the company of friends and family. Some of these people were ones I am lucky to have present in my every day life, while others, are special reminders of my wonderful past and how blessed I have been when it comes to the relationships I've shared.
On Thanksgiving, I picked up the phone to call my dear friend, Mike, who I unfortunately haven't spoken to in quite awhile. Upon calling to wish him a happy birthday, I walked away from the conversation so thankful of the fact that, "the more things change, the more they stay the same." Even more refreshing was to find that he had apparently felt the same way, as I came online to find an email from him saying,
"...after I talked to you, I was inspired (which often happens to me after I talk to you) and something reminded me of what a friend once told me about what make a great friend. And that was, that no matter how much time passes let it be 3 days or 3 months you can always pick up the phone and talk to them as if it was 3 hrs that had just passed."
These simple words proved to sum up my Thanksgiving break perfectly. It's incredible how you can go weeks, months, even years, without seeing a friend, yet when you finally do it's as if no time has passed. I think that is when you know that the friendship you share is true. I love my friends, old, new, near, and far, unconditionally.
