Old friends

It's easy to have many friends but good friends are rare. And it seems to get harder to find them the older you are for some reason. Perhaps we're less open to new things later in life. I chatted with two old friends today on skype. They were totally unplanned calls. Sometimes, those are the best. Even if they're 10 minutes long. Even if we're on opposite sides of the planet. Old friends are comforting. The best part is just talking about everyday things in life. Nothing special. Just catching up on things and hearing about their life. Somehow, it's grounding. Problems seem smaller. It's like time never passed. Or even if it did, things are still ok. We move on and make the most of what life throws our way. And with a little help from above, everything will be alright.
