A decade later...

Hello everyone!
Well Tuesday it was back to work for me.
Before that, I just enjoyed the fact I had extended  weekend because  of the weather.  Here in San Antonio,  the weather had definitely cleared up on Monday. Now we're making sure the victims get the help they need.
I also spoke with my friend Matt on Monday night. He reminded me we have known each other for a decade now, and decided that it was a good thing when we where going to college we did not have snapchat. I was already bad enough with text messaging to the point where the president of  ABLE( the advocacy group for students with disabilities at the time I was there had to tell me there was no sexting ( sending sexually explicit text messages) at our meetings. ( I know where's the fun in that, right?) Although, we both agreed having UBER back in college would have come in handy, because that way we could have had a designated driver after a night of drinking - I mean studying .  It made me wonder what makes some friendships last over the years, and others not so much.
10 years later, I am still just as perverted , and  sarcastic as I was back in the day.The only difference is I have to keep it PG  during the day since I work in an office. 
Perhaps the answer to what makes relationships of any sort last is last genuinely accepting people for they are. In the book I finished Sunday night, Bittersweet,the heroine of the story was getting a divorce because her husband in the story just wanted her to stay home and raise the children, and not work at all- even after their kids where away in college and he knows photojournalism is a passion of hers.  But ,in the end, the heroine found someone who really appreciated what she had to offer , and she didn't have to change at all.
 So here's to another decade of friendship , and  many cups of coffee together.
 Love you all.
-Donna
