Day Twenty-eight

It was only a phone call. My friend from high school had recently divorced after over twenty years of marriage. I just called her to see how she was doing, no questions asked. There is nothing worse than having people ask for details when one is experiencing a difficult time. This conversation was lively and animated, as we caught up with each other after a number of years. Most of the time that we talked, I listened. Much of the time that I talked, she laughed. It was like a breath of fresh air to have these moments of reminiscing. She thanked me, but I should have thanked her. Her cheerful voice reminded me that although life is sometimes unpredictable, it can always be full and meaningful.
