Brunch In Good Company

I can't say I was overpoweringly bowled over by the meal, but then, I didn't try several of the menu items I wanted, and I might go back sometime to see how dinner there is. It was nice to have no wait at all for once, though the hostess of the mostly empty dining room seemed unwarrentedly rattled that we hadn't made a reservation. It's quite pretty in there nonetheless, and according to the website they feature live music a night or two a week.
I really just organized it to see everyone. After every outing like this I'm reminded of how fortunate I am to have the good friendships I do, when even 5 years ago I had almost none here. It's a pleasure to have people with whom and for whom I can plan outings and gatherings, and something not to be taken for granted. I was reminded again later as I was talking at my house with two of the friends from brunch, each of us offering our own very different perspectives on singlehood. The weight of being emotionally on one's own can and does (for me) increase with time and grow incrementally heavier, but one thing it doesn't have the power to crush is the pleasure of one's friendships.
