Day Four: Meet a dear friend for dinner

The day ended with a dinner with a dear friend, Jennifer. For two hours, we sat uninterrupted by children, phones, deadlines, or chores; only a rather relentless quirky waiter provided a small nuisance. It was a rare treat to eat my dinner, enjoy my glass of wine and then sit an extra hour reminding each other how simply great we are. We made plans to do it again soon (sans kids) but "knowing how way leads on to way" I will not make the necessary arrangements just yet. Spending quality time with friends is as essential to well being as daily exercise and flannel pajamas.
