We all have responsibility, and looking around at the problems of the world, it can seem like we don't have time to play games. But that's just what makes life worth living, and what helps us carry on through the tough times. Maybe if we all laughed more and took ourselves less seriously some of the problems wouldn't be so big, or at least so daunting.
I am lucky to have many different kinds of friends in my life.
I have friends that I've known since I was four. Friends that I have only known recently but who have become just as close. Friends that listen and support me. Friends that share my love of coffee and books. I have friends who challenge me, and friends who comfort me. Friends that I don't have to put on makeup for. Mommy friends, who understand the joys and challenges of raising children, and who are always up for a play date. Artist friends, who bug me about writing my novel (love you Renee, I'm working on it I promise!), or jam with me when I want to sing. Friends that always seem to be there when I need a helping hand. Friends that are far away but never far from my thoughts.
But my best friends are the ones that make me laugh. The ones that make it so that it doesn't matter who else is around. The ones where silly is a prerequisite. The ones that know all your inside jokes. The ones, that wherever you go you know there is the possibility of an adventure. Even if you get stuck in traffic and spill mango Snapple all over the car, or break the half and half machine in the cafeteria...it will be a good day, because you'll be laughing, together.
So here's to friendship and silliness. May you have an abundance of both.
