Almost every week of the year, on each Wednesday, I meet with a group of women that are absolutely the best antidote for whatever is on your plate at the moment. Whether it is illness, or a complaint, a need for information, or a time to share both good & bad news, Wednesday morning is that time. We can gather up to 12 women or as little as 2, but whatever the number is it is a rejuvenation that is good for my soul. We have been thru the good, the bad & the ugly (ugly had to be the talk about bras). Summer is almost over which means that our Wednesday mornings at Barnes & Noble will come to a halt until Christmas break. Instead of meeting at B&N, we will begin a new Bible study at church. But wherever we gather, whether it is at B&N or at church for Bible study, these women are precious and dear to me. They are my weekly indulgence for myself (along with a mocha frappuccino with chocolate whipped cream on top).
"For many people in this world, life is cold, lonely and hard. If they had one friend, their lives would not only be different, but happier. In the plan of God, a friendship is a touch of heaven on earth. And we can all bring a touch of heaven into someone's life."
~ Rev. Mark Connolly
Until next time....

What a true treasure. These friendships not everyone is lucky enough to find. I count myself one of the lucky few as you also, to have found kindred hearts. We are blessed.
