Today:

I am grateful for my friends.

We each have our own definition of what a friend is but, I decided to look the word friend up in the dictionary. Some of the definitions were -

1. One attached to another by affection or esteem.
2. One that is not hostile.
3. A favored companion.

Now here is my definition -

1. One that is always there to help you put the pieces of your life back together when life breaks you into a million pieces.
2. One that listens whether they're interested in what you're talking about or not; they are simply interested in you.
3. One that is there to laugh at a tough situation before you're ready to laugh at it...because they know you need to.

And so much more. There's always questions that remain unanswered with each day, but for today...just for today I'm grateful for my friends.

To all of you that are there for me.
To all of you who laugh at me.
To all of you who laugh with me.
To all of you that let me laugh at you.
To all of you that listen to me.
To all of you who trust me.
To all of you who make life's blows just a little bit softer.
To all of you who are my friend.

The hugest, heartfelt THANK YOU.

It is you that make my heart smile on the darkest days.
Thanks for "claiming" me as your friend even when I'm completely losing it.
Most of all...thank you for your love, support, and FRIENDSHIP.

I love you.
