Warning: Will be short and sweet as I am lying down and writing this and my eyelids are already closing.
Two of my dearest friends who were with me for a mini
retreat at Trent today and Thursday night remind me of quite simply:
Ivory
Bars of Soap.
So much so that over dinner I intererrupted the lively
conversation we were having about hot men and sex and I blurted out:
“You are both just so good and pure” (and trust me they
were not talking purely).
They
are good good girls and good good friends. Pointe Finale.
Loving. Caring. Warm. A side I began with long, long ago
and am coming back to full circle to in my life. I love the feel of their sweet
affections.
I love their children and their laughter. I love the way
they open my mind and nurture my soul. I just plain and simple love them.
And I love the circle the three of us have both separately
and together. It just feels damn good.
Freezing lakes and wishes
Jacuzzis overlooking mountains
High carbs and pink cupcakes
PastaJ))
Little sweet girls falling asleep in peddle boats that don’t
work
French toast with berries
Sweet little baby boys looking at Mama with adoring eyes
More pink cupcakes on the dock in the wind
Poo-pools that don’t come out
Kids who don’t want to come in
Salad with shallots and cilantro
Clips in hair
Robes on backs
Phones away
Hugs and kisses
Worry dolls and decisions made.
These girls (now woman) have always loved every part of
me. I feel lucky…and underserving in so many ways. In other grateful and at
peace. Mostly content and not asking too many questions.
Basking today as we did in the sun..in the sincerity and
authenticity of their affections. For me..who I was…who I am ..and what I will
be. For my husband..for my children..for my life.
And I the same for them in return. Putting their lives, along with my own as a
high high priority. Making it all count.
For the wins I have and the mistakes I make. They will catch me when I fall in the safe net of their non-judgmental
and loving ways. Knowing that I can tell anything and everything.
I
feel safe.
They are clean and pure just like my morning soap.
Like coffee for others in the morning. They may need
coffee. I need them.
