This morning I had a weekly breakfast with six friends. We meet at a restaurant that saves us a table which we usually occupy for a couple of hours. We've been doing this for more than a year. We do it for several reasons...
- We solve all the problems of the world
- We need to eat anyway
- We need to check to see if the others are still breathing
- We reinforce our friendship and see if anyone needs our help (physically or spiritually)
I think we have all grown to love the weekly sessions. The weeks we can't make it for one reason or another we usually get calls from the guys who missed us. It's a wonderful way to begin the week.
We're a bunch of old guys, but no matter what age you are, if you can surround yourself with friends -- true friends -- it does a lot to keep you fresh and excited about life.
