Good for the Soul

This dear gal is exactly that:


And we don't get to see each other nearly enough. We live almost 4 hours from each other and it's been entirely too long since we last got together. It is just silly to let 3 years go by without seeing someone whom I cherish so much. Our attempts to meet up have  not worked out, but when she texted me the other day and asked me what I was doing Wednesday, I replied, "Meeting you in Lubbock!!"

2 quilt shops. 1 good visit over plates of amazing green chile chicken pasta. More visiting as we strolled the aisles of Costco. And we topped it all off with a stop at the Cheesecake Factory for a decadent dessert.

Friends like this are rare. We can count on each other and I treasure her fellowship, laughter, stories, tears, honesty, advice, and prayers.

Thanks so much, M. I needed that! And we're not waiting another 3 years to do it again. Yep. Good for the soul.

Definitely good for the soul! I have a friend like that and we live a plane ride apart but we do manage to see each other at least once a year.

Good for you! My best friend lives in New York City, so I'm thankful for every chance we get to meet up.

Aww, how fun was that?!! 3 years IS far too long but unfortunately a lot of the time, other stuff gets in the way. Was it YOUR green chicken chili pasta you ate? I need to make that yummy stuff again.

Both of you have been inspiring me for years through your blogs. I’m so happy to see that y’all had a chance to catch up:)

If you were in Lubbock, eating green chili pasta with chicken, I bet you were eating at Orlando's! I miss trips to Lubbock. My best friend and I would drive from Midland to go to quilt stores, and eat! Always had to stop at Sheridan's on the way home. Good times! Sadly, she passed away 2.5 years ago and we have moved to North Central Texas. But I remember those great days!

It is tough to have friends too far for regular visits. My best friend moved 5 hours away a few years ago and I know how precious such visits as yours can be!
