You make me Smile.

I saw close friends of mine today and I remembered how much I miss that feeling of true admiration and respect.  There is something to be said about connections, of a heart moving towards yours, of absolute love for somebody so different than oneself. 

We sat together in a circle, and it felt like when we had first met as we reminisced about our pasts, about others, and yeah we even gossiped a bit.  My friends became even more beautiful than I remembered. One with two children, and the other a newlywed. We didn’t have the conversations that we have now. It was deeper, rawer, and more interesting.  I grew to love them more.  I smiled, more than my cheeks had moved, and I reminisced. 

We all are so different, yet we are the same. Thanks girls for handing me a mirror.  I tend to forget.  You brought me back, and I felt again.
