Our friends are those who know their own faults well enough to forgive us ours. – Moulton Farnham

I met my good friend Rebecca for lunch today very close to Trafalgar Square (e.g. Nelson’s Column, The National Gallery, etc.). It always seems to work out perfectly when we want to get together. I had an errand to do near Bond Street Station and she was riding her bike around London. We quickly set up a time that worked out perfectly for both of us.

I find that our conversations generally get right to whatever issues we need to voice and share. We have a lot of trust with each other and that’s what separates this kind of friendship from casual acquaintances. I’m fortunate to have five friends of this caliber and I feel gifted to know each of them.

After lunch, we walked to Watkins Books as we both felt drawn there. Events and timing were perfect to allow Rebecca to do something that had been on her mind. It was great to watch the synchronicity unfold.

I’m rich and blessed because of the close friends I have and I can’t imagine what life would have been like if I hadn’t have met them. I look forward to many more years of their company.
