October 12

I hadn't had Kristine over for coffee since the end of August, so after a series of cancellations driven by numerous causes on both sides, I was happy to see her this morning.

One of the worst things about COVID for me is missing out on interactions with friends -- especially my good friends. There's really nothing quite like plunking down with a cup of coffee or tea, a baked good, and a friend I know I can always count on to listen (and talk!).

Friends are wonderful blessings, and I'm absolutely thankful for mine. And for time spent sharing life with them.
