My Amazing Friendships

If you try to call me on any given Thursday morning, I probably won't answer - I block off Thursday mornings for my "Thursday Girls" Robbin (left) and Bonnie (right) (I'm in the middle). We've been meeting every Thursday morning for several years now. We're what some people call accountability partners. We call each other lifelines. We tell each other secrets about our lives, and pray for each other. We laugh and cry together. We've got each other's back.
I'm in awe at how many amazing women I have in my life. I mean, I'm pretty busy - just like I'm sure you all are! But, every day in the midst of my busyness I get to interact with some pretty amazing women. I've got face-to-face interaction with my daughter daily (she's a YOUNG woman, but amazing, all the same...) and I see my mom a few times a month - and she's at the top of the list! Every Wed. I have SAMmy's and see a bunch of amazing women friends and Thursday I have my amazing Thursday girls.
What has surprised me most, I think, has been the relationships I'm seeing here that I'm forming through my computer! My husband teases me about my "virtual friends" - it makes me sound like some lonely woman who talks to her house full of stray cats. (Just so you know - I am of sound mind, and I don't have ninety-nine cats or anything. Really. I don't even have one. Just a little dog, that kind of looks like a cat, but I digress...) It has been so fun getting to know you my blogger friends, because I didn't guess how easy making blogger friends would be. It's so fun to "pop in" and see what you're up to a few times a week; to take a break in the midst of my busyness and hear what you're up to. Sometimes, something in my life happens and I think "I'm blogging this." It makes me smile to think that somebody out there might care. If you lived next door, I would invite you over and we could chat about things over coffee and chocolate cake. With as much as we visit - almost daily for some of us - we would be so fat, and caffeinated, it would just be a perpetual state of mind, I think! I guess it's better this way...I would be a bad influence on you. We'd get absolutely nothing productive done.
So, thanks. And, leave a post and let me know how you're doing. I'd love to catch up - or get to know you! I've always room for more friends!
