30 days of thanksgiving...DAY FOUR.

i am so very thankful today that i have friends who love me.  who encourage me.  who take the time to listen to me.  and who trust me enough with their 'stuff' to let me listen to them too.

i am thankful that i am not walking this life alone.  i am thankful that there are people out there who 'get' me.  who understand what makes me tick.  

i am thankful that as i have grown (aged, gotten old, WHATEVER...) i have become more secure in who i am and less worried about what others think.

i am thankful for new friends & old friends. for near friends & far away friends.

i am thankful that this journey, if sometimes unpredictable, is never completely isolated.

i am thankful that even though i sometimes drop the ball...sometimes miss the mark...sometimes just really SUCK at being a friend...that my TRUE friends understand.  and love me anyhow.

so if i owe you an email, a text, a note, a phone call...just know that i really do love you.  and i am thankful for you.  i can't imagine my life without you.  

xoxo.
