Thank You For Being A Friend

Sorry if you are starting to think that my blog is more about my friends than about me. But really, I'm not that exciting to read about, day after day, anyway. Plus, if you are a friend of mine, you know that I spend a lot of time telling stories about other friends of mine. It's what I do. So, I just want to say that I'm super-thankful for each and every one of my friends. Tonight, I spent a couple of hours with some of the Ladies Who Lunch from work, just having drinks and chatting about work life. One of our lovely Ladies left awhile ago to pursue a new career path and so we don't get to lunch with her as regularly anymore, and we miss her. And so, we all had a fantastic time just being together. And I love that. And I need that in my life, perhaps more so now than at any other time before. So I just want to say thank you, to all of you who read my blog or stop by at work or come by the house for a visit. For the people who call and the people who write, and the folks who pray for me and my family. I really do appreciate every bit of it, and I need it, to keep me going and to make my life liveable. And I hope that someday, I'll be able to help each of you in some way, and to help make the world a better place. It's been a rough few years, and this time of the year (May-September) seems to be the hardest anymore, with all the birthdays and anniversaries and other significant days. So it helps to know that you care and that I can count on you to listen, or distract me, or make me do things I wouldn't do on my own but that I really need to do. And now that this is about as sappy/weepy as it gets, I'm going to cut myself off and say "Thanks," one more time.
