A dear friends facebook note has inspired me to count just a few of many blessings that my amazing friends bring into my life everyday. In no specific order....
1. Honesty- I am so thankful that no matter how harsh or hurtful the truth is, 100% honesty is all you have to bring to the table in our friendship. For short or long term purposes, I know that you all have my best interest in mind and would never mask something just so that I may feel better or like you more in that moment of time. I am also so thankful that my true friends appreciate how honest I am with them and in the long run have an understanding of why honesty is the most important aspect in any kind of relationship.
2. Loyalty- Correct me if I am wrong but I think I can speak for most when I say that we have all grown up so different from one another and have completely different backgrounds and life stories to share. I personally am so blessed to have friends that understand this concept, can accept it, and be my friend regardless. Loyalty isn't just being a friend in the good times, its being a friend in the good, the bad, the ugly, the annoying, the tragic, the dramatic, and the crazy times. Thank you all for being you and allowing me to be me, sticking by each others side all along the way.
3. Joy- I don't think I can express just how greatful and proud I am to have all of my friends who bring joy to my life. Laughing and Loving are two of my favorite things to do. I love being loved and love being laughed with.I enjoy it almost more than anything else in life. You, my friends, are so great to me and I am so blessed to find joy in each one of our relationships. Thank you, Thank you, Thank you.
4. Happiness- This goes hand in hand with joy. From the little moments of happiness to the big moments of happiness... I am one LUCKY girl!!! If I could tag all of my friends who make me as happy as I am today, I would.. but it's not possible. Keep bringing me the happiness and our amazing friendships can only continue to grow!
5. Strength- This is a huge one for me. It is the most hard attribute to have when things dont go right, it is the easiest thing to give up, and its so simply lost if it is not practiced. I can not express in words how strong my friends are and have made me. There are two paths you can take and its been a huge blessing that my friends choose this one. I don't know where I would be if they didnt have it. I know from personal experience that the strength I have and share has saved a friends life and that is the biggest accomplishment in the whole world for me. Words will never say how much of a blessing this is and how much I admire every single one of my friends for having this.
6. Accountability- Thank God that majority( the people that matter most to me, sorry for those that take offense to this) are accountable. There has not been one instant that my true friends have not been there for me the second that I have needed them. (Within reason of course) They are there to listen, to counsel, to guide, to make me laugh, to make me smile, to push me through, the list goes on... Plans made are always followed through with and even if it costs an extra dime to spend time together, they make it happen!!! Money is replaceable, friendships are not and I am so so so SO greatful that I am blessed with friends that understand this. This paragraph in itself could be a novel but I will stop here because I think the point is proven.
As I said these are just some to name a few and I am so blessed to have the best of friends that anyone could ask for. New and Old... the memories will continue to be made and I hope that from here on out, you are all here with me until the end. I love you all so much and am so proud to call you my friends.... thank you for everything you have done for me. Whoever does not have you in their life is missing out on some of the most amazing gifts ever given. <3 <3 <3
