An Old Comfy Sweatshirt

Something that brings back good memories, something that you want to cuddle up with, something that you just can't toss aside for a new one...that old sweatshirt and those old friends. Today I spent a few hours with an old friend talking and just enjoying the familiarity. I also spoke to another old friend on the phone. Even though our conversation was brief, it was good to hear her voice and share a laugh. With both, I walked away feeling thankful for the years that we've shared. I was also grateful that with both friends, there is not a need for pretense or walls...we already know each other and have accepted who we are, so the need to pretend or hold back isn't an issue. New relationships are exciting and even needed from time to time, but there is nothing like an old friend to make you feel at home. So, look through your closet, find your favorite old sweatshirt, put it on, and then call an old friend. You'll feel comfy inside and out...simply speaking.
