Girlfriends, Bingo and Whidbey Island

Do you have a circle of friends that you depend on…and that depend on you? People you can trust – maybe on different levels, but trust is there? Well, my cup certainly runneth over.

I was invited into a Bingo group a little over three years ago (believe me, this ain’t your grandma’s bingo!) and at first I was a little apprehensive. Sadly, I get that way in unknown settings. Social anxiety if you will. Anyway – these ladies are 100% amazing. I was welcomed and gained some AMAZING friends out of it!

Recently, several of the ladies mentioned above and I spent a weekend on Whidbey Island (typically the group does this two – three times a year but this was my first time). Laughter, tears, love, music, beach time – yes even in the cold, and conversation. We were all exhausted but happy.

When you have people in your life like the above, life can be wonderful. Surrounding yourself with positive, supportive and loving people makes your life full – you start reflecting those qualities. This is a good thing. We all make mistakes – in life and relationships. Those mistakes are your chance to make better and wiser choices. Lord knows I’ve made many – and probably will again. That’s ok – learning opportunities!

Have fun, choose wisely and well.
