Thankful...

Due to a recent post, it is known that I have an obsession these days with watching the seasons of Sex and the City...

...the more I watch, the more I feel those four girls parallel my friendship with my three best friends.

In reality, watching just makes me more thankful that I DO have that kind of friendship to be able to compare. The four of us came together early on in high school when we were on the same athletic team. Slowly but surely, we merged to become one powerful quad of friends. When we were going away to college, I remember being scared as to what would happen...wondering if our friendship would survive. During that time period, one of the biggest things that I learned was this quote...

...one of the most important things you will learn in a friendship is that you can grow separately without growing apart...

Our friendship is stronger today than it ever was.

There are stretches of time that go by that I don't get to see them that often, and we all live pretty closely relatively speaking. It is hard to get our schedules to mesh and get together, but when we do...it's such a great feeling to be in their company.

It's fun to go through our life events together...and share it with each other.

...so yes, it IS silly that I am so obsessed with watching Sex and the City, but it's fun to watch and be reminded of the things that I am so thankful for in my own friendships...
