Having friends to fill my dance card for the whole week is a good thing. Sometimes I complain that I just want to relax after a day at work and sit on the couch and do nothing. I did that last night. For the rest of the week, I have plans every night after work. And I'm thankful for that - these are all people I want to see and spend time with, so I'm happy I have them in my life. A few of my dearest friends have left NYC in the past couple of years, but I am still capable of making new friends, and building relationships with ones still here. That makes me happy.
