How did I get so lucky?
I have a best friend who also happens to be my husband… who loves me unconditionally, and encourages me to follow my dreams, and keeps me laughing at life.
I have friends who choose to spend time with me… who are fun, and creative, and live joyfully with an expectation of good things.
I have friends who trust me enough to share with me… who open their hearts, and expose their vulnerabilities, and invite me to learn more about them.
I have friends who care and let me be me… who listen, and advise, and offer their insight.
I have friends who are far away… who remember our history, and stay in touch, and keep the flame of friendship lit.
I have friends who I’ve never met in person… who encourage, and support, and share their resources.
I have friends who are bright and beautiful and talented… who warm my heart, and enrich my life, and make even bad days brighter.
I have an abundance of love.
I have the shelter of friendship.
I have uncountable blessings.
How did I get so lucky?

Friendships are so wonderful, they keep me balanced, they enlighten, they refresh, they accept unconditionally, they love, they support, and the fill me up in ways words can’t adequately describe. I actually received a return email from a dear friend whom I haven’t spoken in over a year and cried. I cried because of all the things our friendship is!

It’s not luck, Laurel, it’s because you’re a good person and a good friend, too.
