On The Friend Ship

I happened to have an AMAZING weekend this past one. I got to spend it with some of my favorite people and it was such a good time. We did some really cool things like going to WICKED! but we also just chilled. It was a beautiful thing-this weekend all was well in the world. I got a break from all the stress that can weigh me down sometimes.
Today, it was back to work back to reality, back to the stress. I was thinking how sad I was that it was over...and then I was thinking about how the real beauty of those friendships that I enjoy comes from the endurance of them. It just got me reflecting on what a blessing friendship is in life. Whether you are laughing or crying with them, they can get you through.
To quote from WICKED, since I just saw it and all, "I've heard it said, that people come into our lives for a reason. Bringing something we must learn and we are lead to those who help us most to grow if we let them, and we help them in return. Well I don't know if I believe that's true, but I know I'm who I am today, because I knew you."
The point of this post is to make a general thank you to the friends (I definitely count my family in this umbrella of friendship) in my life. I love you, thank you for being a part of my life and making it better. If you're reading this, the thank you definitely extends to you. We never really know the moments that matter most to those we share them with. Chances are-you've been an answer to some one's prayer-or part of a silver lining, a shoulder to cry on, or the comic relief so desperately needed. Thank you to everyone who was been any of the above to me. I will reiterate: you never know what you mean to someone...and by someone, (in this instance) I mean me. Sincerely, thanks for the love, all!
