Mother's Meeting again tonight, as per Wednesday ritual!

I thought about something rogue_dreams said during it, that we can talk about everything. It's something that I don't believe is appreciated enough by people, when you have a support system of people that you can just be yourself with, as awful and petty and furious and ridiculous as you really are. Sometimes you are that way with people that you don't mean to be, and then you can feel concerned about the way you presented yourself. That sort of friendship that is built on a sort of barter of respect and opinion. But with my Mother's Meeting, with my girls, there's none of that. There's no concern about how they think of me because they've seen me at my best and my worst. And they will always be honest with me, sometimes in a blunt way and sometimes just in a "seriously, how do you not see this, you are a moron, why are we friends :)" way.

Not a lot of people get that sort of circle in their life. That they can establish such a level of comfort and trust - especially not with people that they see weekly. We may have a few that we know online, or who have moved away or that we only see when we go home for the holidays. But every week, to have that - to have them. Well....it just reminds me to count my blessings where they lie.

That's an amazing circle of friends to have. We all become so used to not being fully ourselves, except when we're all alone, that it's a total shock (but a good one!) to be able to let loose when someone else is in the room. That's a great find for you! :D

It is, and it's nice to remind myself to appreciate it! Because you do get caught up in certain things and forget to stop and look around :)

You're a sap. But the feeling is 100% mutual <3

Of course I'm a sap, I am actually a big gooey marshmallow inside! ♥
