I'm going to play catch up today with a prompt from the week just past.... How'd you meet your closest female friend? My closest female friend is the mom of my youngest son's friend. We became friends through our boys and because she is my neighbor. At first glance we wouldn't seem to have a lot in common... she is much more liberal than I, raised in a totally different lifestyle, different values in some key areas, different styles and tastes. I have often wondered what makes us friends. It started because she is really a loving person, kind and generous with my boys... almost like an aunt. And then over time I grew to really respect her for the generosity she shows to all people and for her acceptance of all people.... she reminds me a lot of my little sister too, perhaps that is it. Anyway.. whatever the reason we are friends, I'm glad. She has helped me enjoy the last six years in ways I wouldn't have without her.

The weekend blog prompt is to watch the short film at this link... http://www.campaignforrealbeauty.com/ and discuss it. It's pretty cool... go see it.
