Cheers

We had a few close friends over for my birthday this past Saturday.

We were all sitting around the table, talking, laughing. Sometimes there were a few random dance moves thrown in that fit perfectly.

I sat back and watched these friends of mine and this feeling of fondness swept over me (ok, I had a few drinks by then but I am convinced I would have felt like this either way).

Look at these people. They have fallen into my life over the years and each one of them is so very different from the next.

I raised my glass, and announced I wanted to toast to them- some of my best and closest friends in the world. Each of them, with their unique personalities, have inspired me in ways they can't even imagine.

I read recently that I should be thankful for all the different personalities that God has placed in my life.

I am!

Some of my friends inspire me to be more daring, take chances and step out of my comfort zone. Some of my friends are cheerleaders. We support each other (weight loss, having 2 kids under 2, etc) and are always there for each other.
Some of my friends remind me to always make time to have fun and be silly because life is just too damn short.

All of my friends make me who I am today.
