The Support Of Friends

Sometimes as a mom you lose touch with the reality of the outside world. Don’t get me wrong, I love being a stay at home mom and I am very blessed to have been given the opportunity to do it, but sometimes I feel like it’s hard to keep in touch with some of the great people I have in my life. I have a few friends who live far away who are corny as it sounds I feel are my "soul sisters". Even if we don’t talk for awhile I feel like we can fall right back into talking and getting each other because that’s just how it is. These friends are so important to me, and as someone who accidentally forgets to stay in touch sometimes I am very thankful for them. (One of the reasons I keep this blog is so they know what is going on with me during those times when I am less than in touch).
Today I received a super sweet, wonderful card from my friend Rachel who most certainly qualifies as one of my "soul sisters". We haven’t talked for a few weeks, not for any other reason than sometimes life just gets in the way. She sent not only lovely words that really brightened my day but she sent a gift card so that Don and I could go out on a date. It’s easy for Don and I to forget to take time and make an effort to go out on dates and this gave us the motivation to plan something. It was amazing of her to think of us and give us something we could enjoy so much together. I am thankful down to my core for the support I receive from people all across the country. I can’t wait for Rachel to come visit, now we just need to figure out when that is going to be!
