It's not 5 minute Friday, but I did have a late cup of coffee and the kids are asleep so I figured a few minutes could be spared for some writing.  I also missed last week, which was supposed to be about friends.  I have been really cherishing my friendships lately.  I have been amazed at how much my friendships have bent and morphed to adapt to the changes in our lives.  Careers, children, travel, projects, time management failures, forgetfulness, and moving have all affected my friendships.  I am very lucky and blessed that there are close friendships that have endured.  I thought one would fail for our different directions, but it turns out I think it makes us stronger and closer.  I thought one would fail for distance and then lost connection, but here we are reconnected.  And that doesn't account for the friends that became family and the family that I proudly call my friends.  My best friend is my husband.  He and I share moments daily that I couldn't begin to share here.  They're difficult to describe.  Sometimes it's a touch or a word or eye contact that just validates me and confirms that he is my love and the best friend a girl could ask for.
