Today is national best friends day, according to various postings on Facebook. I'm very grateful to have several massively important friends in my life. There's my best friend that I share most with, my closest girlfriends where we can go for months with just minimal contact then pick things up again in an instant. I've arranged a phone catch up with one tomorrow and I'm eagerly anticipating the loveliness of that connection. And this week I had a text from the person who was my best friend at high school, telling me she is relocating from Devon to Cumbria. I'm hoping this means we will get to see each other again - I last saw her when she brought her new twin girls to show me. That was some 9 years ago.
As you know, I don't see things as a competition, I don't have a hierarchy of friends. I do know that I'm immensely glad to have each and every friend in my life. I don't always have, or make, the time to cherish each one. Maybe I should.
We learned Carole King's "You've got a friend" in choir last night. How apt.
