Happily Ever After

There's nothing like calling your friend who you have known since you were 7, shares your past, knows all your secrets, and would go to jail to protect you. Or your sister, who shares your DNA, your family, your history, and your drama. Or the mom you bonded with waiting for your kids to come out of school, the woman you serve at church with, or the stranger you now call friend because you complimented her hair at ShopRite and she helped you finally find someone who doesn't cut too much off when you say, "Just a trim, please." She's the one who listens to you rant, talks you off the ledge, is your biggest cheerleader,  dries your tears, and gets you back on track.  She sees in you what you can't, and reminds you how amazing you really are, even though you feel like a hot mess.  You reminisce, laugh, and encourage each other. You can sit and talk for hours, or sometimes say nothing at all. But even the silence speaks the truth, that your secrets are safe with her. There's nothing like a friend.  And nothing like girl talk over a hot cup of tea or a huge bowl of ice cream. So, grab your mug, add some sprinkles to that ice cream, and let's chat a while. I've got so much to tell you!
