Yesterday, I met a dear friend for breakfast. We hadn’t seen each other for a while, way too long, we agreed. Life is full of distractions and in our case, simply too much LIFE had gone on.

We both felt as if we had each been caught in our own personal tornadoes, and now, finally getting some respite, were able to meet and catch up. We both concluded, but he put it more wisely than I, that the lesson learned from all the chaos we went through was that we are in fact “breakable.”

We said our goodbyes, and as I looked  at him walk away, I hoped we didn’t “break” all too soon, missing the chance to share more moments where we can tell  each other that we survived  yet another tornado.
