Friends

I am watching Oprah's premier of her final season and John Travolta is her guest. She stated talking about what a good friend he is and so glad he is with her. They came out dancing together to "Love Train", and I thought, I have friends that make me feel like dancing. Do I make them feel like dancing? I see the love on Oprah and John's faces and I hope I have that effect on my friends.

She said there is no one on earth she would rather be with and 25 years later, he still make her heart pitter patter.

You do not get many friends in life, true friends that you have an unspeakable connection with. Some similarities are evident, but some are not until you dig deep, talk for hours and shop with them!

I have one BFF, and we are an unlikely pair. If you only knew how close we are, it still amazes me. She has been with me through my adoption, helped me with beginner motherhood and is impressed by my computer skills. (they are really not that great...but shhh don't tell her). I love her like a sister and I hope she realizes how important and special she is to me.

I have been blessed to reconnect with 3 friends in my life. These friends and I have drifted apart over our life's journey but have somehow found each other again. Each one brings something different to my life and look forward getting to know them as adults, traveling with them and growing old with them.

I want my friends around me when I turn 40, 50, 60, 70 and at death. I know they are truly accepting of me and my faults. I want their faces to be the last I see because after all of these years, they do not judge, or back down or walk away.

If you have a friend you want to connect with or reconcile. DO IT!

We have opened our hearts to each other, I am a better person.
