Yesterday I saw two groups of old, close friends. That shouldn’t be the slightest bit post-worthy. It should be a regular part of my life. 

But it’s one of the vital, important, emotionally restorative things I’ve placed on the β€œoh-how-I-wish-I-had-time-for-that” shelf right now. It isn’t just me. We β€” all of us β€” are extraordinarily busy with work, kids, life. 

But even just an hour with my high school crew (and my friend Isabelle from when we were two years old!!) and, what, 15 minutes with my moms-in-the-trenches-preschool-moms-circa-2010 will fuel me for weeks!!! 

When I’m in NYC, it’s work and kids. That’s it. It’s only when I’m out of town, on my off-custody weekends, that I allow myself this indulgence. 

But friendship is a two-way street. And some of my relationships with my favorite people on the planet have faded a bit from lack of care and attention like plants that need tending to survive. And I hate that. 

But boy, am I grateful for ALL of my old friends, those I see more often and those I even just text heart emojis and quick thoughts with. 

I miss regular girl-time like when we all lived together in college. (I wonder sometimesβ€” would Stacey and I even be seeing that much of each other right now?) 

All to say, the hour I took from my workday paid me back in spades. I hope I added something in return! 

And if YOU get the opportunity to see your friends, even for a few minutes, make the time. You can thank me later. πŸ˜‚β€οΈ
