Day 127 – Reconnection

Sometimes as life gets busy, it’s so easy to lose days or even weeks and on occasion months with friends. I have learned my life lesson with letting too much time go by without reconnecting with friends. So when my friend Jen asked me to get together today, I carved out the time in my schedule early this evening to meet up. We filled each other in on the activity of our lives in the last couple of weeks. We sat together in a beautiful café/coffee house, sipping our tea and chatting away.

I love this particular spot. It must have been a bank in prior years because it has an authentic humongous vault with the old style safe front. Then in such vast contrast, everywhere you look there are enormous chandeliers hanging- illuminating the entire area. There is a chess board in one nook and bistro style wooden chairs/table sets everywhere. It has true charm and the wall to wall large windows add the ability to view the heart of Newport while you relax.

Anyhow, as we walked back to my house afterwards I found myself thinking how blessed I am to have an awesome local friend. I appreciate having someone that I have known so many years from Arizona living so close to me and offering the familiarity and friendship that every girl needs. I found myself thinking of how lucky I am to have realized that making time for friends even when life is busy is so very, very important. And then I ultimately thought of the fact that once again I have this blog to thank for making me intentionally slowing it down for some much appreciated girl time and reconnection. #HGAL
