Remember that round that goes...
"Make new friends
but keep the old
one is silver and
the other gold"
I had a beautiful day with both a silver friend and a gold one.
Of the silver: she's an amazing woman, a loving mom, a creative person, with a home in Brooklyn that's so welcoming & comfortable it makes you wanna move in; she has a sweet 10-month-old son and a husband who makes her laugh, and she knows everyone at the neighborhood coffee shop; with her warm smile and honest nature, I look forward to our budding friendship.
Of the gold: he's a hilarious story-teller (and has lived a life full of funny stories, which supplies him with much material), a beautifully spiritual & self-aware human being, a kind soul and an encouraging, supportive person; he inspires me with his perseverance of his creative passions, and we always have good food together; I look forward to many more years of this dear friendship.
Sometimes I forget that forging new relationships (and learning new things about old ones) is such an enjoyable & fulfilling experience.
Rachel,
ReplyDeleteSounds like a wonderful day. It's so true that we need both silver and gold friends in our lives.
The pool is open... you are welcome anytime. We would love to see you.
