Friendship

I received an email from a friend.

A good friend.

A friend who knows me in and out.

Up and down.

When I am looking for a safe zone- she is it.

When I need to feel selfish.

When I need to brag.

When I need to whine.

She sees the worst I have to offer and loves me anyway.

The words she sent, had been sent to her.

Now, I am sending them to you.

"May today there be peace within. May you trust that you are exactly where you are meant to be. May you not forget the infinite possibilities that are born of faith in yourself and others. May you use the gifts that you have received, and pass on the love that has been given to you. May you be content with yourself just the way you are. Let this knowledge settle into your bones, and allow your soul the freedom to sing, dance, praise and love. It is there for each and every one of us."


That friend?

Just called.

A person is blessed if they have even one friend like that. I have an embarrassment of riches in the friend department. They are life's greatest gift to me.

I'm sure you're a wonderful friend to her, as well.

I'm so lucky to have friends like that as well. We always seem to just know when we need each other.

now that is a true friend! I think we are lucky if we even have one of these fabulous friends in our life--the kind that we can TRULY be ourselves with. I know who my friend is...
