I was pretty lazy today so I ran out tonight and took this picture. They weather has turned from warm and spring like to cold and, technically still spring like weather! Fooey! I really was ready for warm weather. I wouldn’t mind some cool days but today it actually snowed. This made it a great day for lounging and relaxing. I hung out with my friend Julie last night. We had a talk about friends and friendship. She is a great friend. It gave me things to ponder. I have many, many friends, in fact I would say I have several really close friends. I am truly blessed to have these diverse and wonderful women in my life. (You all know who you are!) My best friends are each unique – well, of course all people are pretty unique, but I guess I mean that I have a wide variety of personality types represented within my friends. I love each friend for who they are as a person. I find it interesting that we are not really a homogenous group. I am really loud and outgoing but I am a good listener and encourager. Some of my friends are quiet and shy. Some of my friends are friends with each other, but because Marcus and I each have a wide range of interests, we each have friends from many walks of life. I have always tried to be a good friend, I think that I am. I rely on my friends for companionship, emotional support and fun. I think that my friends aren’t fully aware of how much I need them. I have a pretty positive outlook on life and usually see the best in things and people. When I get down or disgruntled, I feel better after a little time spent hanging our and relaxing with my peeps. Each is special to me. I am thankful for the friends that I have, they help keep my life full of joy and light. (Also, trauma and angst but that is a different post!) Needing and being needed is such an integral part of being human. I need my friends and they need me. Love you all!!
