Bestie Check-Ins #SOLC21

Thanks to Two Writing Teachers 
for hosting the March writing challenge!

Although my best friend Beth lives thousands of miles away, we know when it's time for a bestie check in.  Beth always beats me to the text, "Thinking of you!  We need to catch up!"

We then pick a day that week (and reschedule if needed) to check in.  We run through the usual topics:  husbands, daughters, work, pets and parents.

We catch up since the last time we talked, fill in the blanks and make sure to support the other in whatever is challenging or needs problem solving.

Some conversations are more serious, some are more light.

Friends since 1973 (I know, right?!) we are lucky to have each other.  

(But really, I'm luckier).  I'm so grateful for my BFF Beth :)

  1. I had a catch-up like this with one of my dearest college friends last week. I just needed to speak to her. I felt alive again after I did. Isn't it wonderful that each of us have friends like this in our lives?!?!?

  2. Love this! I recently reconnected with some friends and it was fun to catch up, but those friends that are always a phone call away are the best!
