Antoinette with her grandson Brian Robert.
Last night I went out for a celebration. My good friend Antoinette has a birthday coming up on December 23rd. We celebrated early in the month, and her and I will celebrate Christmas for lunch soon. There were twelve of us, and I had a great time. The restaurant called "Bahama Breeze" has an island theme, hence the name. I felt as if I was in Aruba all over again. How nice! I also had the pleasure of driving with my friend Donna. It seems like ages since her and I have had one to one time to catch up. Donna and I use to work together, and had many a good laughs...many.
When I arrived home, and changed in my pajamas, I started to think about my friendships. I am very fortunate to have women friends with whom I can talk candidly. We share our thoughts and feelings whatever they may be. I know I have love and friendship with my husband, and I have a different type of love and friendship with my women friends. As in both relationships, I believe it takes a strong effort to make time for each other. I will call my friend Antoinette today, and tell her I had a lovely time at the party. Happy Birthday Antoinette!
Kathleen,
ReplyDeleteIt sounds like you have a special friendship with Antoinette. I hope you have a wonderful time at lunch coming up. I just got together with my cousins yesterday and we had a "cousins" lunch. It was nice to get together with all the family. And old friendships mean a lot too.
Have a peaceful weekend.
Love,

Such a lovely sentiment. Yes, women friends are like sisters we never had.... My dear, dear friend and I used to say we were sisters when we were little... and low and behold...our wish came true...she married my brother! It is nice to be able to have "true" conversations with women friends sans judgement...held in confidence... Happy Birthday to your friend!
ReplyDeleteFriendships are the pearls on the necklace I prefer to wear....it is a lovely thing to have close ties with people that listen, laugh and enjoy YOU for who you are, man or woman!
