Day 61 -- Catching Up

This was a day with less work than usual. I had planned to finish laundry, bake and do some cleaning. Well, some of the laundry got done <smile>. I did add snow shovelling so I could get the wetter stuff moved before it freezes solid tonight. I did a few things to get ready for work tomorrow (I don't want to go back <g>) and then I spent a few hours on phone calls to catch up with a couple of friends. I hadn't had a good chat with either of them since around New Years. It was great to talk with them and hear their voices and to assure myself they are doing well.

I am privileged to be part of several friendships where it is possible to not speak for a while and yet pick up just where we left off when we make contact again. This is precious. I know we think of each other often, but life can get in the way of distant and not-so-distant friendships. Luckily, I've found several people who understand the nature of my work and I understand their life and work commitments, too. In my mind, that is the true heart of friendship -- we are with each other daily in head and heart, yet may not be able to speak as often as we wished. It is my hope that everyone can experience this type of relationship.

Today's selection is one of the many songs about special friendships and has been one of my favourites for some time now -- like since Tapestry and Mud Slide Slim and the first concert at the Troubadour <smile>.  Enjoy!
