I have a group of friends who are kindred spirits. I call them my “slipper friends.” I have heard of friends compared to shoes before. You have your flip flops that may be there for a season. You have high heels that might not be very practical, but they make you feel good. You have your tennis shoes who can challenge you to do more than you thought you could. You have your slippers who are there for comfort. You always can be with them for comfort and pick up right where you went off. We try to get together as a group once a month. Life has spread us out a bit in location, and we’re all in different stages of life. Andrea is in that group of friends. She came to visit me with her kids today.She’s about 1 1/2 hours away, so it’s not always convenient to gather. We still want to try and continue to make it happen.
