My daughter and I went down south to see my best pal from high school and my best pal from college. We had an amazing time with lots of great visiting and tons of play time, as you can see. When asked, "Well, what did you do? Did you get around the big city?" I said, "No! We just kicked back and caught up! It was the best vacation ever!" You know you have that special kind of friendship when nothing has to be planned and you can sit and visit for 3 days without leaving the house! Perfect!!But oh! the blessing it is to have a friend to whom one can speak fearlessly on any subject; with whom one's deepest as well as one's most foolish thoughts come out simply and safely. Oh, the comfort - the inexpressible comfort of feeling safe with a person - having neither to weigh thoughts nor measure words, but pouring them all right out, just as they are, chaff and grain together; certain that a faithful hand will take and sift them, keep what is worth keeping, and then with the breath of kindness blow the rest away.
