What a better way to spend a Saturday then shopping with your BFF! Self care can take many forms and one such form is a visit with my best friend. She is someone who knows me to my very soul. She is someone who gets me.
Lisa and I met so long ago that I can’t even remember the story of how we met. We taught together decades (yes, decades) ago in Worcester, MA. She saw me through a series of endless bad dates and was the first person I introduced my then boyfriend now husband. The only person whose opinion mattered and still matters. Both our kids are only months apart. Amelia and Grace were each other’s first friend. Devin and Ella got married in Vermont when they were 3 (and have since divorced).
We have so much history. Too many good times to even count.
We don’t see each other as often as we’d like It’s hard with her in Massachusetts and me in Connecticut. But when we are together we just fall in step.
As I headed home and thought about all of the years we have known each other, I realize how lucky I am to have this friendship in my life.

Self-care is so important. Taking time to be with a longtime friend and just enjoy life is a treat. I am glad you had the tie to do so. I,, too, wrote about self-care on Day 5. It is a pleasure meeting you.
