New adventures in living!

For those that know me~really know me, it will come as no surprise that I am regimented in my daily routine. I eat at the same time. I like to workout in the morning. I only wear black workout pants. I like my time alone. I tend to stay away from girl’s day out with friends. Oh, I hate parties.
This weekend I had an adventure. I went out to lunch with a very dear old friend. I went to a restaurant I had never visited. I even cut my Saturday workout short by skipping my morning karate class. For me, it was a giant step forward.
Not much of an adventure you say! I sat across the table with a woman I have known for over 30 years. For the first time in our friendship, I was a true friend to her. Not because I gave her a gift; not because I did her a favor; not because I made her dinner. I talked to her. Actually, I poured out my heart to her. She listened. She gave me great advice. We laughed our butts off. We shared conversation and popovers. I let her in. Barb waited a long time for me. I don’t know why.
Things I am learning…
It is really easy to be a good friend.
It is really lovely to have friends.
I am blessed because I am surrounded by people who have known me forever and still want to be my friend~faults and all.

We have plans to celebrate my birthday by going to Sid Weiner.
This could become a habit…..
