The incredible gift of friendship

The incredible gift of friendship

I say all the time that I am blessed with wonderful friends, that one person shouldn't have this many friend's and yet I do. I have had friends I've known since I was 5 years old, friends I went all through school with and friends I've met when I started my life in Florida.

I remember when I was married and my ex made me choose between him or my friends. Being young and stupid, I chose him because I was afraid of losing him and it felt like I lost a part of my soul. For years he kept me away from my friends because he knew they would see right through him and tell me to open my eyes. 

As I found myself again, I found my friends again and they helped me through some of my darkest days. They encouraged me, supported me, gave me a shoulder to cry on and even after, time and time again when I didn't take their advice about freeing myself from this marriage, they were still there for me.

They have been there in good times and bad, in hard times and smooth sailing. They made me laugh and cried with me. They taught me who I truly was because they loved me for who I was, and they taught me the lesson of always being yourself, being true to yourself.

I remember when I realized how much my friends were there for me, it was when I bought my own home. It was then that I realized how truly blessed I was, when I saw how many friends came to my need to help me. Especially when I first got divorced and moved out and then and then with the new home I bought.

I had friends that flew in from all across the country for my 50th birthday, friends that flew in to help me with my new home and when I was finally done remodeling and moving into my new home, friends that flew in to make me a surprise housewarming party. I was blown away each and every time to know I have these incredible friends. 

Most people are lucky enough to get maybe one or two friends in their lives, and yet I have all of these friends that I am so grateful for. Friends I've had for decades, friends I've had as long as I can remember and new friends that I meet along the way. 

So today my friends I want to thank all of my amazing friends who went above and beyond the word friendship to become the family I chose for myself and to say that words could never express what I feel for you all.

I am truly blessed each and every day that you are in my life, I love you all.

I am grateful for each and every one of you!

And for my readers out there, please know that when times are hard you have someone to lean on, someone who has your back, they are called your friends. 

"Keep smiling, keep shining

Knowing you can always count on me, for sure

That's what friends are for

For good times and bad times

I'll be on your side forever more

That's what friends are for" 

"Be the change you want to see"

"And just when the caterpillar thought his life over...he turned into a beautiful butterfly"
