Best Friends - Best Inspiration

Yes, this is yet another post about how I have such amazing friends. But having friends that are truly inspiring is worth celebrating, every day. In Finland, valentine's day is celebrated as friendship day. I'm sure there's a day dedicated to this in the global calendar as well, but I sure have lost any overview with forty different causes for each day. In any case, I just read an email from one of my best friends, whom I have written letters and emails with for two decades, often daily. She is one of the most caring, insightful friends in the world, and such a source of inspiration to me. We are currently both taking care of the kids for most of our day, with husbands that are wonderfully caring dads, but who have busy jobs. My friend wrote about returning to work soon, and how she actually loves being with her kids, despite the unglamorous aspects and moments. I fully agree, and once (and if) I have the cahnce to return to a job, I will agree even more. It is a blessing to have had this time, and although it is so, so, so awfully strenuous (I find), it offers moments that very few jobs could. I just wish coffee would work better wonders, and that I could appreciate the good parts in the here and now more. Cake for all of my friends, you are worth infinity to me.
