22. Friends

Photography by flickr artist

I'm about to leave on a weekend camping trip with three of my friends. They're the kind of friends you hang out with when you want to be doubled over in pain laughing hysterically or if you want to share something painful and have a good cry. They always guarantee a good time and I'm excited to spend this weekend with them in upstate New York. Friday's are usually dedicated to my favorite things. And so it's apropos that today begins my friends weekend because time with them is what makes me happy and what has sustained me through the last year.  

I will be back in a few days to tell you all about the good times. In the meantime, call someone who you value as a great friend and tell them how much they mean to you. It may sound corny but it's always nice to know how much you mean to someone you care about. Never take friends for granted. Call them, send them emails and notes and plan visits. This particular group of girls doesn't get together often but when we do, we make the most if it. Enjoy the weekend, preferably with some good friends.

  1. This is SUCH an important thing to do in the first twelfth of your journey (and the second and third . . . and all the way to the end of the first year). The first year is too hard to go it alone. Blessings! Have a great time!
