gratitude: day 13 of 30

i have a friend that has been my best friend since we were 13 years old. through thick and thin, even when we've been apart, i have always known that i can call on her. that's a wonderful gift.

today, i went shopping and to lunch with her and her daughter. not that i bought anything really - it was just spending time with them, looking, chatting and perusing the stores was just the perfect way to spend a saturday morning. it was carefree. even when lunch was not that great. (it will be a while before i have mexican again)

so...today i'm grateful for old friends. the perfect sparkle for a saturday.

    i love old friends because you don't have to explain anything about who you are, they just know. they understand you without explanation. they see the whole picture.

    What a nice way to spend a Saturday, simply being with a dear friend. Such ease comes with old friendships.

    Yes! I think we could all be more grateful for the wonderful friends we have in our lives. My closest and dearest friend I have known since we were 7. Time and thousands of miles have separated us but by god, when we pick up that phone, it's as if it was just yesterday that we last spoke. So, yes. Thank goodness for old friends!

    Makes me think of the song... "Make new friends but keep the old...one is silver and the other gold"...I too am grateful for golden friends:)

    Sounds like the perfect way to spend the weekend -- with old friends. I too have the same best friend I had as a girl and there is nothing as special or constant.

    hello again, char..
    I guess I really missed a lot of your gratitude series...so nice to be back though...

    you're right...old friends are treasures and losing them is unthinkable...

    I wonder often how it would be like to have friends like you...

    well, gotta go. Enjoy your day.

    I can't help it! I have to comment again..I just read your gratitude series from day 1 up...and to think that I haven't before...when I needed something beautiful to perk me up...

    If I have gratitude series of my own, finding ramblins would be one of them.

    old friends really are the best thing. and the best of ones pick up right where you left off without hesitation... without even noticing that years and miles have separated them.

    ps: beautiful warm, gorgeous colors :)

    It sounds like you had a wonderful day! Except for the not-so-nice Mexican food. Those kinds of trips can be a lot of fun!
