Friends

Days like this remind me how grateful I am for friends who see me for who I am; friends who make me laugh; friends who make me feel needed; friends who convince me that the people in our lives are given as blessings to help us become better.

Thank you, friends--for revealing fears and calming my own; for being consistently who you are; for long talks on the phone; for encouraging me to be happy where I'm at; for helping me see the goodness in myself, those around me, and in a unexpected life.
