We love friends. We do. And for the most part, we love socializing. But sometimes, all the socializing with friends can be a bit overwhelming. I mean, when you find yourself booked for 3 days straight, aren’t you just jonesing for a night at home?

 

I don’t know what to tell you, but Mister & I have been busy, busy, busy of late. And though we love, love, love our friends, I get tired, y’all. I do. Can’t help it. It seems that during the social season we are committed beyond the bounds.

 

And just when I think I can’t handle it, a friend reaches out and invites us to something like, I don’t know, a backyard movie night. And do you know what happens? I ache to be there. Because I love those people. And it doesn’t matter if I was just out until 2 in the morning, because these people are so completely fabulous that I absolutely thank the gods for my having been invited in the first place. It is twisted, I tell you. And beautiful.

 

So I stretch my social muscles and show the hell up. Times ten. And do you know what happens? I get tired, yes. But I also laugh and enjoy myself more than I imagined I could.

 

Sometimes, just seeing the faces of the friends we love is enough to cause our hearts to skip a beat. I am beyond grateful.
