I am going thru pictures today, among other things. As I get older I realize how incredible my women friends are. Here are a couple of pictures of me and my girlies from last Halloween. That vision in black ‘leatherette’ with the whip in her hand is “W” who got me over a funk about getting close to people a while back. She is rock solid inside and out.
I have close girlfriends. Ones I’ve known for 20 years. We have been thru the best and the shittiest of times. But I moved across the country and live in a small town where the population is mostly young professionals who are gov. contractors. People don’t stay for long. I made a few girlfriends the first few years I was here. Women I liked, friendships I invested time and effort in. But each one moved.
We were all having babies too. That kept me busy at first. I would try and tell myself that it didn’t really matter, that I would meet other women, make another friend. How hard could it be, really? Living in a small town of 50,000ish mostly practicing Mormon folks, when you are an atheist makes it tough my friend. There wasn’t alot to do culturally. Especially for a stay home mom who loves to get out and go. And go we did. We just created our own little world… It expanded…
…2 babies later and I have a wonderful little group of friends who I cherish so dearly. Funny where they come from- everywhere really. Thank you all for the blessings and kindness you have bestowed upon me…may they be returned a thousandfold.
