Grateful For Friends










I feel somewhat hypocritical writing about this since I don't feel like I act grateful! I have always been blessed with good friends from as long as I can remember. I was going to go through the ones that stick out most in my mind but it was getting a little bit too lengthy so I deleted it! My point in writing this is to say that there are so many wonderful people every where! And that's why I feel so guilty. I get caught up in my bubble of a life and I lose touch. I think of these people who have touched my life. Each one so talented and amazing in their own way! I am soooo grateful. They all have lifted me up whether they knew it or not. They all have strengthened my belief in the goodness of people that through them God has blessed and continues to bless my life. These last 2 months with my back injury people have brought meals and watched my kids, taken my kids places, organized fun things for them, painted Gwen's birthday present (a table & chairs), brought me treats, books, movies, called me, visited me and listened to me (I didn't realize how out of touch I felt). I know others prayed for me and that helped me too. I am so blessed to have so many good people in my life. I hope I can do better. I do appreciate all of the great people in my life!!!

I wish I could post all the photos I have but I am having a hard time finding them all so I'll just post these--so if you are my friend and don't see your picture please don't take it personal. Maybe you are grateful! Send me an updated photo and I'll post it!

I used to feel bad about friends not keeping in touch, but I have learned to be grateful that our paths ever crossed (even if they later had to go their separate ways)and for the gift it was of knowing them. I've learned so much and been blessed by each friend I've had! As for feeling guilty--you're one of the most thoughtful friends I've ever known. You're always doing something nice for somebody! So don't feel guilty!
