Friends and Lovers

Good friends are worth more than all the riches in the world. I spent last night in the company of my true family - they may not be related to me by blood, but we are all such kindred spirits that, in many ways, we are closer than family.

They were all so excited at the prospect of meeting Soulmate. I had been slightly afraid that they would think things were moving too quickly, but I should've known better.

Apparently it is true - MH and another friend, CG, keep telling me that people have been calling them after running into me in the store and asking what's going on with Anysara, she's positively glowing. My best friends in the world must've picked up on this, too.

We told all the old stories and laughed until we cried - something I hadn't realized I had been sorely missing.

They asked about Soulmate and the connection we have in spite of only having seen each other once in the flesh.

I told them that, all my life I had looked for people who were like me - kindred spirits who connected on some cosmic level. In my senior year of college, I found this connection with this particular group of friends. I knew we'd be together (in spirit and thought if not in body) for the rest of our lives. Then I told them that I had found this same connection with Soulmate only on a deeper and much more absolute level.

This blog entry isn't coming off the way I wanted. The intangible is refusing to be put on paper. Let me at least say this to all my loyal friends (cyber and otherwise) who continue to daven for me and who bring me so much joy and bracha:

We should always have friends with whom we can laugh until we cry and we should all merit a life with our own Soulmate.

Thank you.
