Coffee Talk

This morning I met a few friends at Panera. We began this tradition of sorts when school started a month ago, and it is a time I have already begun to look forward to each week. It's a wonderful group of women with whom I share a lot in common, and yet we're all very different as well. The conversations contain just the right mix of griping and laughing, of gossiping and celebrating the good things in our lives. I've felt guilty the last two weeks that I've "wasted" one of my two kid-free mornings just sitting around talking to my friends rather than doing something more productive. But these gabfests are good for my soul, and I am thankful for the chance to spend any time with these ladies that I possibly can.
