Making time for friends

Start the day with catch up Zoom with West coast friends. What beautiful faces. What melodious voices. The three of us dedicating time to one another. Nine hour time difference. It’s 9:30 in the evening for them. I wake up 6am to wake up slowly, to open the cold Saturday.

Mundane topics emerge. Work. Family. Significant others. Looks. Feels. Child. Changes.

We smile. We laugh.
We complain. We cheer.

Two hours later, they turn in for the evening, and I am just starting mine.

We prioritize and time for the things that matter. The thing that matters to me most are relationships and the people. Everything else is ancillary. What’s the most important thing for you?
