BFFs The The Ying and Yang

Best friends.
They are like having your favorite dessert every night.
They are your anchor when you feel like you are drifting out to sea.
They are solid ground when you feel like you are sinking in the mud.
They are like a child's giggle when you tickle their belly.
They are your sunshine on those cloudy days.
They are a sound proof room when you have to scream.
They are a warm cozy blanket on a chilly day in spring.
They are your navigator when you it seems you are a little lost.
They can finish any sentence you begin to speak.
They will be there to join you when you want to act silly.

I just spent a few days with my BFF. Wow !!!! What a reminder of just how important she is in my life.  We can sit and talk about everything and the time just flys by. When we sit and talk I feel so connected and I know she is listening!!! That is something I think every person on earth finds important. Some one who will listen. We don't want you to fix anything, we don't necessarily need any advice. We DO want validation and encouragement. I believe that advice and encouragement are two different beasts. I guess it is all in the delivery.

My BFF and I can also be very silly and have fun doing goofy things. She lives in Payson and now is the time for elk to be wandering all about. We set out at 5:30am on Wednesday morn in search of elk. We weren't able to find any then but decided to do another hunt at dusk. Several people gave us the best spots to find them.  We cooked a great meal and took of just before dusk. We went to a spot that was not only elk friendly but was so beautiful. There was a creek and lots of greenery and trees. We did spot a couple of does. We stopped the car and the girls looked our way. We were so excited. We weren't sure if they were BFFs or maybe even mom and daughter. They did seem to rely on each other for safety. Just like my BFF and me. We didn't see any other elk but maybe that is just the way it was supposed to be. Two very different pair of friends but yet maybe very much the same.

My prayer is for everyone to find that special friend that you can always count on to be where ever you need them to be when ever you need them. I hope I made sense. I know what I am feeling in my heart and I am not sure I am able to convey it through my words.
