I met a friend at a charming little neighborhood wine bar tonight and departed feeling so satisfied with the wine, our conversation, and our friendship which is relatively new.
Earlier today the girls and I visited one of my oldest friends, and I left feeling similarly content.
We talked about Santa, our parents, fourth grade, husbands, our kids' behaviors and natures, food and cooking, our latest projects, parenting, exercise, stress and overwhelm, friends, movies, Thanksgiving, fundraisers, puberty, electronic devices, lice, work, and family time.
I love family for the ways they make me feel like myself, how I feel at home.
But I love my friends for the ways they make me feel normal.
No matter a friend's background or beliefs, I find myself in each.
Finding self + feeling normal = fundamental to happiness.
Thank you, friends.
