Yesterday was Friends Day here in Argentina. This is a national holiday devoted to celebrating friendship. Everyone makes an effort to spend time with their friends, and they exchange small gifts like lollipops. It’s supposed to be a day to tell your friends you love them, even if you’re normally too shy to do so.
I want very much to bring this holiday home with me to the States, where friendship is often scoffed at. My close friendships are the bedrock of my life. I owe my home, my work, my family and just about every other joy in my life in a very direct way to the love I’ve shared with friends.
You guys rock my socks. I love you. I’m pretty much never too shy to say so, but I love the excuse.
Happy Friends’ Day!

Happy Friend's Day to you dearest Muse! What a great day to celebrate. You should bring it home with you and convince everyone we should celebrate with you.
