Friendship

I have enjoyed many friendships over the last 30 or so years. It's amazing how each relationship is unique to me and that person. Two of my best friends are from high school or shortly after high school. I hardly ever see either of them but talk to them often. One I talk to several times a week. They know me better than anyone (besides Adam) yet, we hardly ever hang out. I have friends from each of the wards I've attended. Some I see and talk to, some I don't. Yet, I know that if I did see them things would be just as natural and comfortable as when we saw each other often. I have those friends that I never see or talk to but I know that if I did I would have the time of my life. I have friends I've never met in person. I have Bunco friends, PTA friends, soccer-wife friends.I have friends who I know I should end the friendships but I can't. I have friends who I enjoy more than they enjoy me. I've always wanted a BEST friend. One who I could talk to everyday...one I could go shopping and to lunch with...one that our families would vacation together. I've always been jealous as I witnessed those kind of friendships. But, I've also come to love having lots of great friends. And I am realizing that I am surrounded by lots of wonderful, loving people. I love my neighborhood!! (there, after almost 3 years I can finally say it!) A few weeks ago I was feeling really under the weather and I had mentioned it on facebook. A few hours later I had Christi at my door with cookies from smart cookie. Totally made my day! And yesterday...yesterday was a really hard day for me. I was feeling incredibly alone and discouraged. I had only mentioned it to Adam but lo and behold, Heavenly Father was looking out for me. Around 3:00 there was a knock at my door and I found this...

Thank you Abbie...I don't think you really know just how much I needed this! Really. I am so thankful for wonderful friends!
