Something on Sunday: Friends
It's probably cheating to use Thanksgiving as the thing that makes me happy two Sundays in a row, but given that I spent my afternoon and evening with some of my favorite people in the world, eating and drinking and talking, how could I not?
I'm sure I've mentioned this before, but I'm extremely lucky to have a circle of in-person friends that I see regularly and that values my company. I know so many adults who don't have many local friends, but I managed to land in a place with a few college connections that then grew into the friend group that I have now -- and that still includes some of those same people. My older and more far-off friends are also important to me, of course, but it's not the same as knowing a dozen people who live within easy driving distances, and who prioritize spending time together. I can count on them, and they can count on me, and it makes me so happy.
These folks are my community, and I intend to maintain that community for as long as I can.
