becoming sandy
Sharing what I am learning, unlearning and relearning as I navigate my way through a midlife unraveling and awakening, becoming the woman I was meant to be all along.
There is just something special about girlfriend-ship, especially as we get older. They keep our secrets, give solid advice when asked, listen well and pray harder. They love our kids as their own nieces and nephews, and our kids love them. We do not compete with one another, and we are each other's biggest fan. Encouragement is contagious among girlfriends, and even though they know our imperfections, they still adore our faces, laugh at our jokes and embrace our presence. They patiently listen, encourage and if we're really lucky, they speak our own words back to us when we need to hear them. When our lives feels like they are falling apart, they meet us where we're at, by phone, text, prayer or in person and stay as long as they are needed. There hasn't been a single life event that I could have gotten through without the love, encouragement and prayers of my friends. Like the Beatles, "I get by with a little help from my friends." To all of my girl friends, especially my faves (you know who you are), Thank you!
Ya'll are my tried and true "Gal"entines: Godsent Valentines.
