Sometimes one of your best friends (who you don't get to talk with often on the phone) calls and leaves you a voice mail telling you the normal things, acknowledging how they made her think of you... You laugh aloud and shake your head "Yes!" Then she tells you she's just thinking of you and thought maybe you'd be home washing your hair on a Friday night (ha!), but you're not... Maybe you're on a hot date, but maybe just a date?... You laugh aloud and say, "Don't I wish..." Then she just tells you how she wanted to let you hear her voice and how she's thinking of you...
It's enough to make you cry and smile and cry the whole way home on the freeway from the thing you were at as you sit with the truth of how dear she is to you and what a blessing it is that across miles and months that have passed, she's still here. In your life. She still knows you. She still cares.
And, it's too late to call her back, so you blog about it instead and plan to call her this weekend.
Simple joys. Simple gifts. Thankful and blessed. Blessed and thankful.
