#31: Awesome Woman Friends

Today and yesterday, I have traveled with some really awesome women. I met up with a former colleague to fly to Boston (and with a delayed flight we talked for about six hours without pausing for breath) to meet another friend from a past life traveling from Finland for a conference (and we've talked for two days). I have talked and talked and talked the last two days more than I thought humanly possible. I realize what precious friends I have. Because I don't have time or the opportunity to enjoy them everyday, we jam pack months of conversation into hours. I feel like I have not talked so much in ages and ages. I am so thankful for the fellowship and company of these and other women in my life. Those relationships are precious, special, and irreplaceable. Sometimes I don't even realize how much I miss those buzzing interruptions, passionate mini-lectures, philosophical questions, unfiltered opinions, and reflections of life. I am extremely thankful to have many wonderful female friendships here, there, and everywhere, and I am equally grateful for reconnections with those amazing women, even when they are difficult to orchestrate and too far between. Thank God for female friendship!
