BFF TIME

This past week was AWESOME !  Sharon was here and we had a ball doing NOTHING !  We sat, we talked, we went out to eat, we talked, we swam in the pool, (once the rain stopped), and we talked.
IT WAS GREAT !!  (By the way, if anyone needs rain just call me and I will book my BFF to come visit you. She is guaranteed to bring rain for at least half the time she is with you!)

The thing about really really good friends is that you just pick up where you left off. Things are so comfortable you can just talk and talk and talk and never run out of things to chat about.  What makes a best friend is the ease of chatter and the lack of judgement.  Husbands have that tendency to try to fix things, as in ME. If he would spend as much time fixing the running toilet tank in the guest bathroom as he tries to correct me I would be a happy person. But since I must sadly say that I did NOT marry my best friend H just doesn't make me as happy as my good friends do.
A good friend knows who you really are and doesn't hold that against you. A good friend listens without offering a solution or advice. A best friend will let you go on and on about something stupid and not tell you that you are being stupid. They just listen without judging or trying to change you. And on those occasions that you are being REALLY stupid they will suggest that perhaps you could look at something differently or approach the problem from a different direction. But no matter what, they are always there for you.

Sharon came down to check on me this week.  She was in the hospital earlier this summer for heart problems, but she came down to check on ME . . .   That's what a good friend does. I think I proved to her that I am doing OK. But considering what a great time I had I think I may fake some mental problems so she will visit me again before too long.
