Laughter is the best medicine

Once upon a time in a land, well not so far, far away there lived three girls who just happened to be the best of friends. They were almost inseparable (almost because all three were also very independent and had separate friends and duties that also required their time and attention, but none minded or pouted because they knew that it was a part of adult life). They traveled to see kangaroos together. They shared their joys and sorrows with one another. They did service projects, ate lots of ice cream, stayed up way past midnight, cleaned the back porch, and laughed until they couldn’t see through their tears.

Then one day the winds blew in from California and with it left one trumpet blowing prince. Long story short, one of the girls got married. The other two knew that meant not as much time and shared adventures, but also were aware that is what was supposed to happen and were extremely happy for her. Although contact and events still occurred, it just wasn’t quite ever the same.

Those winds blew again only this time they brought in a deep voiced prince. He didn’t waste any time sweeping up one of the other girls. Prince boyfriends take up a lot of time which is exactly how it should be and so the other girl skipped off to play with other friends. They were all happy in their lives, but something was missing, their friendship.

Last night the three girls decided it was high time to spend some quality time together. They went to dinner to wait out the blistering heat. Then it was out to the Jordan Parkway for one of their favorite activities together....rollerblading. The laughter could be heard throughout the land (mostly because none of them were delicate lilies in the noise department)! They came back stinky and sweaty, but also truly happy.

Moral of the story: No matter the winds of change that blow or time spent apart, true friendships can weather it all and still come out smelling, well evidentially like b.o.! :)
