Dog Bites and Bee Stings

There are worse ways to spend an evening than talking on the phone with a friend for two hours. I consider myself a private person who can get by without much human interaction. In fact, too much human interaction makes me run for the hills. And then there are long, winding conversations filled with laughter with an old friend that makes me remember the glory of people and why people are the greatest thing about life. People are not perfect. Interactions with people can sometimes be the most horrible thing, but nothing hits the soul quite like great conversation with a loved one. And it is the soul that is often forgotten about when we think about our priorities in life. Go to work, buy groceries, do chores, and…oh yeah, remember to make your soul feel alive and jump for joy. This sounds like an advice column now. What do I know? Loved ones are loved ones for a reason.
