the fresh perspective...

THANK YOU FOR BEING A FRIEND.

I don't remember the last time I had the best time on a Friday night. My pal Liz and I finally got together after a long hiatus and the evening got me thinking...  What, for real, is the definition of a friend.

friend

/frend/

Noun A person whom one knows and with whom one has a bond of mutual affection, typically exclusive of sexual or family relations. Synonyms pal - mate - chum - buddy - comrade - fellow - companion

I just wanted to shout out all my friends out there, you know who you are. I take so much for granted daily and sometimes I'm reminded to stop and reflect.  Tonight, hanging out and just chatting, made me realize that this type of interaction is vital to my being and in a special way, relaxing.

Good friends really are a dime a dozen and as the years pass by I feel such joy and comfort.  My friends are special and are wonderful.  My friends know how to make me laugh and know what I like.  My friends are 'my friends' and I just want to say thanks.  I hope you know how much I appreciate you and merci, danke.

I hope that all of you have friendships with special people who make you happy.  Maybe you should remind them how much they mean to you more often.  That's the fresh perspective...
