I apologize for wearing you out with two blog posts, I recommend you space them out with 12 hours or so, I wouldn't want anyone to overdose on my account.
....12 hours later....
Let's get to it!
Today (rather, yesterday) was my good friend's birthday. As someone who is a sucker for big birthday fanfare, it's tough knowing what to do when a friend tells you birthdays aren't that big to them.
It's like someone saying they don't like chocolate or they don't like mushrooms on steak, it really stops you in your tracks, if you know what I mean.
I sucked it up. I didn't tell the waitress at the restaurant that they should come sing...I really wanted to though.
But after the night FULL of laughter had come to a close, I felt so good. It was good to just BE with my good friends. To be in their presence and enjoy their company.
At the end of the day, the fanfare wasn't necessary. The friendships, that I hope will last my lifetime and longer, were what mattered.
I am lucky to have such great friends in my life. Friends who have bolstered me up in times of sorrow, friends I have laughed with, cried with, shared adventures with!
It wasn't even my birthday, but I felt like I got a great gift!
