my friends

I am thankful for lifelong friends who, just by my being in their presence, remind me of my place in the world and help me remember who I am, why I am here and where I belong. I haven’t laughed as much I did this weekend in a long, long time. Why? Because I so easily allow myself be weighed down by the past, by an illusion of seriousness, by the illusion of the way I think things are supposed to be.
