Girls Night Out

Friday was a bad day for me, work was overwhelming and sometimes I feel that even though I give my all its not good enough. This last year has been trying for me as well, I have been feeling that I no longer fit the mold that I should. I decided early in the day that I needed some girl time, I had ask one of my co-workers if she would be willing to go out for a drink and she said "yes". I normally keep work/personal separate, I have 3 close girlfriends that have known me for most of my life and know my history and that is all I have ever really needed. Even though it seems that the past few years I have grown apart from them, I blame this on a few things. (1) My best friends married my husbands best friends so I feel as though I can't confide in them the way I used to. (2) We have become such different people I have seemed to grow up and they have not. My co-worker and I have always gotten along with and felt as though we are a bit like kindred sprints so talking to her has always been pretty easy, she is a bit younger than me and much more innocent. After a drink (or two) we started opening up on our experiences on life and found that we are much alike. We talked religion, love, etc. I see so much of myself in her, the way I used to be. Before my life experiences changed me in to the person I am now. I told her so as well and her response " but those things made you who you are now and you seem pretty awesome to me". Even though she was probably drunk and being nice, it was something that I needed to hear. So here is to a new girlfriend!!! I guess I am not too old to make new friends.
