boost from a friend

It's great how a few kind, heart-felt words can help you feel so much better. Sometimes it is better to stop talking to the mirror and go back to relying on your friends. Thanks Lily and Sherri for the in-person and virtual pick-me-up!

I also had a reaffirming experience at dinner Monday night with a friend. Girl-talk is so underrated. It should be sold by the bottle. Thanks for listening and for the referrals Alei!

I have spent many an evening this week IMing with another friend and the intellectual stimulation, true emotion, hilarious typos and funny one-liners have been a highlight of my pre-bed routine. You know who you are....thanks for the friendship.

I've started a new routine on my days off....I go to the pool, swim a little and take in a little vitamin D. This little bit of 'me' time is new and I'm starting to like it a lot. It is a time to be quiet as I'm the only person at the pool, a time to reflect and a time to re energize. Who needs drugs when you have the sun, a pool and great friends!
