it cannot be overstated how important and necessary good friends are in this life. by good friends i mean people that love you for who you are, appreciate how far you've come, and have hope for your ability to become even more. and don't hate you or criticize you for when you fail to be all that you can be in any given moment. they just keep on keeping on with you. in a loving way.
i've been fortunate enough to have a number of great friends in my life. more than most people find in their lifetime, that is for sure. i'm not sure why that is, but i feel incredibly grateful for my girls. that's what i call that small group of amazingly wonderful and loyal friends. my girls.
today i got a text message from melissa at just the right time. not about anything important, but it left me feeling loved. at just the moment i needed a little extra love. a reminder that no matter what other people think of me, she loves me and knows i'm a good person. she always leaves me uplifted. isn't that amazing?
friends that uplift like this are indespensable and invaluable. search for them. and when you find one be loyal and do all you can to keep them close.
i saw the face of God in melissa's face today. certainly not the first time that's happened. and certainly not the last time it'll happen either.
