Today I want to express my thankfulness for my friends. I am blessed beyond words with amazing friends. Some friends that I talk to on a daily basis, some I talk to once every couple of weeks when we meet for lunch and others that I never get to talk to but I know they are there and they bless me with their thoughts and prayers. My friends love me and accept me for who I am and they don't expect anything out of me in return. They just want me to be happy! Imagine that, someone wants me to be happy! My friends don't point out my imperfections, they will call me out on my crap or throw down the BS flag if needed, but they are whole hearted, sincere and loving when they do it. They don't expect me to change who I am to suit their needs and are around when I truly need someone to talk to. Even when I try to distance myself from the world and them, they come banging down my walls. I love and appreciate all of my friends with all of my heart, without them I don't know how I would get through this life! I can only hope that I am as good a friend to them as they are to me.

Then again did I really expect more than I should have? Lately, over the years, my thought process has been if I don't invest in GOD, people or myself I can't be let down. I have been working on changing that thought process but it is not easy. I am not going to live in f...
