Diamonds are forever… and so are the memories

All the details may slip away, eventually. All those little things we initially thought mattered. But what stays forever, what we remember, is the way those moments made us feel. The warmth from a hug. The freedom in unbridled laughter. The joy of being present.

Last night, I made memories my heart will always remember, long after my mind forgets. I spent a night filled with great food, passionate discussions, fascinating stories, breathtaking laughter, and best of all, wonderful friends. Surrounded with love and in moments like these, I am grateful and blessed and happy.

Every other week, I go to see four of my favorite ladies, each delightful in their own way. Officially, it’s dinner & diamond painting night. Unofficially, it’s one of the best parts of my week. Every night after, I come home with a smile on my face, not for one second regretting (the after) or dreading (the before) braving the rain, or the chill, or the darkness (or all three at once, as it was last night). I realize that’s how it feels like to have found friends that are already worth more than I dare ask for, even if forever stopped today.

    That’s great to hear Peachy and a big surprise because I heard that Suziecreamcheese was there.
