A Cup Of Coffe and Memories Of Friends

So here I am, sitting in my apartment with the curtains open wide and a cup of coffee infront of me as I sit at the computer. The coffee is one of the things that I have picked up in the last couple of years. Drinking it at all is something that I never did or saw myself thinking of doing and yet...with the first cup of coffee that I shared with one of my best friends, I knew that life wouldn't be the same without it. Lol. So here I sit with the half drank cup in front of me with the spoon still in the mug bumping my cheek as I take a drink just as my friend used to do.

Looking outside I see several of inches of snow covering the ground, decorating the trees. Everything is outlined in white and I must admit that it's a beautiful sight. One can't help but admire it. It is truly beautiful, yet one step outside the door and I would feel the blast of cold with the wind and wish for the warmth within. Living in Ohio has it's good and bad, but here I am for the duration. Lol

At my feet, content on the large pillow, under the desk is my faithful companion, my little Mary. Hard to believe that she is 7 years old now. Where does the time go? I can remember her as a puppy, when she was first born and all the time since.

Looking back the last few years it's been interesting. This huge apartment building has changed with each person moving in and moving out. It was back in 2005 when I moved up here, towards the end of summer, the beginning of august...life was different. Hard to believe that after a few months it would be like living in the tv series of Friends. Lol. We all had our own lives and yet we would always end up in one apartment together, usually mine or one other one and we would chat for hours just hanging out. Fun times. It was never boring or quiet. All of us were/are different ages and yet we all had something in common with each other. It was certainly a fun time and one that I will certainly never forget. Girl's nights, couples nights and nights of just whoever showed up first.

And then we all started moving away. It didn't take long after the first one and now...now I am the only one left out of the old crowd. It's a part of life to grow and change...to move on with what life gives us and what we make for ourselves. Life is always changing and moving forward. Most of us though are still close and chat, no matter whether it's via text, phone call, email or letters.The building is different, has a different feel. How could it not? Making room to make more friends and share more memories with others...A cup of coffee and memories of old friends.
