March 25

I kicked off my Friday with school drop-offs and then the usual stop at the Mother Ship. But today's stop was even better than usual because I got to coffee with Nikki.

My friend group has gotten markedly smaller over time, so it's always wonderful to get together with someone like her who really, truly knows me and understands who I am. It's always time well-spent and it's always good for my spirit.

Although the nuts and bolts of our relationship have changed over the years, I'm so thankful for her and for our continued friendship.
