GRATITUDE FOR FRIENDS

Having friends that reach out to provide comfort, nurture and acceptance is simply one of the greatest gifts the universe has provided me.   At times, it is can be easy to believe I am in this by myself.  However, if I reflect on the multitude of times those who love me have shown their care by taking time to listen, bolstering my self-esteem, believing in me when I don’t believe in myself, keeping me grounded by reminding me that I am seen and heard, letting me know when I am in need of correction, and lending me strength when I am faltering; I remember that none of us are ever really alone.  My heart is covered with the handprints my friends have left there.

My wish today is that I can be as good a friend to others as I have been blessed to experience.
