Besties

I spent a few hours with a good friend today. We celebrated her birthday which was last week and had a dessert that I'm kicking myself for not taking a picture of. Bananas in a cinnamon and sugar spring roll sliced diagonally and placed upon banana mousse. To one corner was a scoop of vanilla with caramel sauce and adjacent corner had sliced strawberries with strawberry syrup drizzled over. She'd have been okay without it but I felt the need for a treat.

Yesterday we'd yammered on for 40 minutes and today it began when I picked her up and we didn't cease until I left her safe back at home. Being as it was 240 degrees outside, I came home a little fatigued.  I was sharing my outing detail with Blueman and it hit me.

She is so encouraging to me. If I said I wanted to tattoo dinosaur eggs, she'd tell me that I was so creative that I'd be sure to succeed.  I rarely think poorly of myself in her presence.
Then it occurred to me that my other best friend does that too. They are very good because sometimes  I don't even realized I've been boosted until later.

Now here's where it gets dicey, I have to believe that they wouldn't offer up this philia love without receiving something from me in return. But I wonder how I can be more adept at offering this back to them without some big momentous declaration.  I shall definitely seek out an answer to this. My friends are truly sisters of my heart.
