Today I’m wrapping up my blog challenge for October, where I set out to write about something good every weekday; something I’m thankful for.
I missed a few days (something I never would’ve tolerated once upon a time) due to hurricane disruptions, but otherwise wrote short posts Monday though Friday.
Today is about friends. (Am I the only one who, at age 41, still has trouble not mixing up the order of the “i” and the “e” in that word?)
I hit up a friend when this website is broken.
I hit up a friend when my finger is broken.
I hit up a friend when my spirit is broken.
I hit up a friend to glory in a Detroit Lions victory.
I hit up a friend to share a hilarious joke I made to my kids that they didn’t appreciate.
I hit up a friend to talk about theology.
I hit up a friend to debate about philosophy.
I hit up a friend to scheme about business.
Not all of these are the same friend. Some friends have a single slot. They are the go-to for a certain sphere of things. Other friends are generalists. We cover everything.
Some friends are in constant contact, some rare. Some are really close, some not so close.
But the panoply of compadres is a rich a wonderful thing. Whatever situation, there’s somebody to share it with.
Here’s to friends.
