Last week a group of us gathered for lunch to celebrate two birthdays. We have been meeting every Friday for about 30 years; we go to a movie and have dinner; we call ourselves the Friday Night Group (very original). I'm one of the youngest, at 77. We've all had our Covid shots and we've all been living in isolation, so we decided we could safely meet for a late lunch. We went to a large restaurant, only four tables were occupied and no one was within 15 feet of us. This is the first time we have gotten together in a year and we could not stop talking, our lunch lasted 3 and a half hours! Much has changed in the last 30 years and now, due to deaths and divorces, we all live alone (there were six of us). What does this have to do with FS you ask? This is just one example of the stress we have all been living with for a year now, and yet we're still here, still striving to live healthier lives. Stay safe and stay vigilant my friends, there is a light at the end of this long, very dark tunnel. 💛

Your story stirs many emotions on so many levels. Thank you for sharing that experience. I've looked at this past year as a war. We've have fought the daily battles and lost many but most of us survived. There are still some battles left to fight but the worst is now behind us.

That was a beautiful post. It’s so great that y’all got together and now maybe it can become regular once again. The changes in everyone’s lives are drastic I. Such a short year.

That’s beautiful Shir to have and share such friendships. Glad you had a nice time. This year has def taken its toll on the world. We are all missing the human connection, not on zoom or online but face to face. I think I miss seeing people smile more then anything. We need see through mask 😁
Have a great day & stay safe!! 😊🌻

How wonderful. Friendships are so important!! I’ve been meeting with the same group of women since 1999, first as a mommy/play date for our children — then just as a “moms night” by the time our kids hit middle school. These 4 women have been a lifeline over the years.... so lovely. Some years we see/ text each other a lot and other years it’s sparing. ❤️ -— I could call any of these women in the middle of the night & they would be there for me, no questions asked! We can not underestimate the support of trusted friends for our mental health, Shirfleur. Thank you for posting this important reminder!! One of my favorite quotes: “The circles of women around us weave invisible nets of love that carry us when we're weak, and sing with us when we are strong.” ~ S.A.R.K.

Family and friends are what sustain us. It was so good to visit with my old friends in person after a year's absence. What a beautiful quote Gib, and so true. And all of you, my invisible friends, you mean so much to me too. For almost two years now we have encouraged and supported each other through all our ups and downs. You hold a place in my heart that no one else possibly can. 💛💚💜

I too miss people's smiles, in addition to getting together with other gals. I've been very isolated. Since my husband and I have allergies we haven't had the vaccine, but I am starting to consider it anyway.
