Girlfriends

When I was in college, it was a rarity to not be with friends. The memories of those incredible times in my life with friends still rumble through my mind when I lay in bed at night or while driving to work. There are a few friends that I still connect with on a regular basis and I consider them to be gems, however, now that real life has happened to us all, it more difficult to cultivate the good ole' days, as some call it. We are lucky if we can get a few texts out or make a phone call here and there, its awful really.

Today, however, I spent the day with my longtime friend Laura. Laura and I met in college when we both joined the Student Body Leadership Council. Through the years of college and hereafter we have remained close and being adults with her has been great!
Today, we had some ultimate girl-time---shopping, talking, coffee, lunch. It was so nice to get away for a while with one of my girls. There is something about girl-talk that soothes a hurting soul and renews a weary mind, its pretty much a must sometimes.

Anyway, today I realized one thing that--- no matter what life brings our way, no matter how far we live a part, girlfriends are necessary and they are part of our life support.

Sometimes we just need a day away with one of the girls!
