I have various social gatherings in my life. All the people there are important to me, but there are a few who especially brighten up my day when I meet them Our kids are around the same age, so we do meet together sometimes. But now days, we mainly spend time just among us, and it's truly a healing experience.
I thought about what makes them different, and I think it's because we talk about "ourselves" rather than discussing other people. Everyone is very empathetic towords each other. One friend in paricular asks good questions. Another friend majored in couseling, so she can get a read on things that never occurred to us. Our yougest friend loves learning, which gives us motivation.
Through our conversation, I can reflect on aspects of myself that I didn't know, The comfort and encourgement I receive warms my heart. Despite being younger than me, I have a lot to learn from my friends. I hope these precious relationships last for a long, long time.
