Some people come into our lives and quickly go. Some stay for a while, leave footprints on our hearts, and we are never, ever the same. ~Flavia Weedn,
Last night, I realised how lucky I am ........... I have something that money cannot buy................. I have something you can't earn ............ I have something that you can't swop .............. I have something more precious than possessions ....................I have something that is irreplaceable ............ I have a life filled to the brim with good friends.
My "bestest" friend, who i have know since I was 13, who knows me better than I know myself.............. my "sister" friend who I have known since she was born, protects and looks after me, like the older sister........ my "prayer partner" friend who is so giving, so full of faith, an awesome prayer warrior............ my " never stop" friends who would keep me busy all day everyday, they just are so full of energy they never sit still............ my "cell" friends who have led me on a journey closer to God than I ever thought possible.......... and lets not forget all the other friends who are part of this amazing journey called life.................

I have been hibernating from my friends, somewhat over the past weeks, I have been dealing with quite a lot of "issues", due to changes in my life I really needed to reinvent myself, rediscover where I am, where I am going, and what I need to take with me on this new journey, and what I need to leave behind, but I was happy to have my own company, I was happy to work on some projects I am busy with, I was happy to have some time just for me............. no expectations.......... but tonight I had supper with my "never stop" friends, friends who never stopped phoning to find out how I was, friends who never stopped asking me to join them, even when they knew my answer would be no............ and I realised what an injustice I had done to myself, not spending more time with them over these last weeks......... we had an amazing evening...... there is a book called
Eat, Pray, Love...................... and that is exactly what we did, we had an amazing meal.......... love there style of cooking.......... we prayed thanking God for the food and the blessings given to us each day............ and we Loved, the room was full of the love that we have for one another...............
I realised that they are actually not friends at all ............... they are my extended family.............. they are apart of my life which I could not imagine them not being a part, they accept me just as I am with all my "strange" ways, with all my "weird" ideas, with my need to do things "right", with all my warts, wrinkles and baggage................
Thanks friends........................ Life is Good ..............

Even though I live many, many miles away and I can't bring over dinner if you would need it, or sit and chat, I'm enjoying this long distance internet friendship. You have a good attitude that I'm sure helps you in many ways. I'll keep you in my prayers.
