"Don't walk behind me; I may not lead.
Don't walk in front of me; I may not follow.
Just walk beside me and be my friend." -Albert Camus
I feel so fortunate to have made the wonderful friendships I have in the past year or so. The ladies I have met through my book club, movie club, then our Bunco group are such a blessing. We've had so many fabulous laughs (the almost pee your pants kind), shared a few tears, and perhaps most importantly, developed a strong bond.

Seeing them always puts a smile on my face.(click above)We are at all different stages of our lives. Some are married, some are single, one is getting married; one is having a baby. Like me, there is one who struggles with infertility. Some have careers, some are stay-at-home-moms, but all are extremely intelligent and literally have hearts of gold.

There is an old saying..."Good friends are like stars. You don't always see them, but you know they're always there." With our group, we're always there for each other and I believe this makes all the difference. I trust these women and our friendship is built solidly on mutual respect.

It's harder to make friends when you are older. Even for someone like me, who is quite outgoing, making friends is much easier when you are younger. Life is not easy, but having friends by your side that you can share life experiences with, makes it easier.

I consider myself very lucky to have found these women. Through books, movies, Bunco, and most importantly, loving friendship, they have made my life so much fuller.
