Friends

One of the things I am most thankful for is friends. God has surrounded my life with several special, amazing ladies. These friends, some newer, some long-time, some near, some far, have: sustained me in my sorrow, encouraged me with hope, listened with empathy, shared from their hearts, filled me with laughter, moved me to tears, tipped me off on great bargains, corrected my faults in love, crafted the night away, and lifted me up in prayer. Truly, what more could a girl want?

Today was one of the most fun days I have had in a while. One of my dear, near friends and I decided to so some stamping and card making. Well, I sorted through my craft supplies, loaded way too much of it into the mini-van, and headed out. I was late, as usual, but being the forgiving person that she is, all was well. We chatted, ate, drank our diet Pepsi's and laughed. Well, we never did get around to any paper crafting, but we did accomplish something! We played beauty shop! By the time I left, she had a gorgeous streak of fuchsia in her dark hair, and I had radiant blond highlights in mine! And, of course, we took plenty of pictures to commemorate the occasion! Hmm, I wonder what we will end up doing when we get together to scrap-book all of those pictures?!

To all my friends, old and new and yet to be, I love you!
