Oh what a difference a day can make.

Things have been a little tense around our house. The Chosen One is trying to quit smoking and it struggling a bit. Patience and prayer is needed. I have my finals this week and am not yet prepared.

But.....

A day with a friend makes all the difference in the world. Non is such fun to be around. She is older than my mother and is one of my closest girlfriends. She remembers being where I am and shares the wisest information with me. She is such and confidence builder on my worst days. The only problem is she moved up across the US from me and we only see each other 1-2 times a year. Oh how I miss her. But oh the fun we have when we get together. She is a "gem". A true gem!

Today was spent at the beach. She is staying in a beach house down there and it was soooo relaxing. We sat on the jetties and watched the boats and the dolphins. It was W.O.N.D.E.R.F.U.L. We laughed and talked and laughed and talked some more. I feel so good tonight just thinking of the conversations and her warm smile and hug that was waiting for me.
