I just got finished catching up on about 40 blog posts. My Google Reader has been sadly neglected for weeks. Cabin life has allowed me to slow down a bit and just SIT. Yesterday I didn't get out of my pj's until 1:30p.m. Then we ventured out for an amazing hike complete with beautiful sandy beaches and snow covered trails and priceless conversations with the kids. And today has already been full of lots of sitting and hopefully more adventures this afternoon : )

A good friend can call you and dump her worries in your lap.

But a very very good friend will call you, dump her worries in your lap, then take a breath and ask what worries of yours she might help bare the burden of today.

Reciprocal friendship is a treasure.
