Quiet Friends

This weekend I really got to spend a lot of time with some of my great friends. My time with them really got me thinking. What makes a good friend? What separates great friends from acquaintances? Luckily I found my answer. Great friends are friends you can be quiet with.

Truthfully my friends and I are crazy. We are everything but quiet. Yet we all can sit in a room with nothing to say and still be loving every second of it. In fact we don't even think about it. So I guess I have found that with my close friends, silence isn't awkward. I don't feel the need to 'entertain.' In fact, it's in those quiet moments that we can be who we really are, together, and realize we are family.
