In the 1994 film Forrest Gump, the iconic quote "Me and Jenny goes together like peas and carrots" is used by Forrest to describe their inseparable bond. Narrating his childhood and later life, Forrest explains they were constant companions -"always together" - an inseparable connection, even when Jenny was far away.
My dearest friend's birthday was last week and she and I "goes together like peas and carrots," too. A couple of our children are the same ages; preschool and kindergarten were the connections that brought us together. 35 years of friendship...that's over half of our lives.
She’s the vibrant disco ball of energy, scattering light everywhere she goes, while I’m more of the soulful wanderer, moving quietly through the world. Somehow, we fit. A natural balance. Extrovert and introvert, spark and stillness. She draws me out of my shell, and I help her stay grounded. That's what friends are for.
Amen to that.
